2 The annual cost in energy and material loss, attributed to friction and wear, is estimated between 5% and 7% of the Gross National Product of most industrialized nations. [1] Friction causes: Equipment failure Excessive energy consumption Lost efficiency, productivity and profit Increased negative environmental impact 2 nglide addresses a global call for environmentally sustainable materials that can save energy and enhance durability of equipment [1] Jost, P. (2005), Tribology Micro and Macro Economics: A Road to Economic Savings, Tribology and Lubrication Technology, 61, 10, 18-22

3 3 Inorganic Core Constituents Nanoparticles of MoS 2, Graphite, h-bn, Cu, and other inorganic functional materials (for Extreme Pressure and/or High Load applications) Integrated with additional molecular functional groups Average Mean Size <250 nm Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) image Actual nglide Macromolecule Organic Capping Constituents High dispersion stability Protection from aggregation Additional functional groups 5 nm

4 nglide is the world s first nano-engineered macromolecular multicomponent additive system: Breakthrough in active and reactive lubrication of mechanical components under severe loading conditions 4 nglide Lubrication System delivers at least three (3) lines of defense: 1. Nano-nuclei are anchored to the mechanical surfaces through the functional polar molecules 2. Transfer layer formed by shearing of self replenishing nano-nuclei under high load/ low speed operating conditions 3. Robust and adherent tribofilm resulting from mechanical shearing of nano-nuclei to protect the underlying surface material

5 How Works? Transmissions Electron Microscopy (TEM) image The nglide Macromolecule 10 nm 5 nm abrasive particles 5 Nanoparticles entering most intricate geometries The nglide macromolecules are continually replenished in low load environments Shearing of nano-nuclei under high-load during asperity-asperity contact delivers tribofilm. Nano-nuclei can also encapsulate trap abrasive debris Making atoms work harder and smarter
