NANOL TECHNOLOGIES.
• Ab Nanol Technologies Oy was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in Helsinki, Finland.
• Develops and produces innovative nanotechnology-based lubricant oil and grease
additives called Nanol®, that protect against wear and reduce friction in engines and
other mechanical equipment.
• The vision and mission of Nanol Technologies is to provide solutions, which enable
reduction of fuel and oil consumption and prolongation of the life-time of key engine and
machine components. These solutions, which are based on state-of-the-art technology,
are more cost competitive than any other traditional lubricant products.
WHAT IS NANOL®?
•
Nanol® is an innovative lubricant additive based on unique patented technology
•
Contains perfectly dispersed active copper “particles” in stable colloid
•
Forms thin protective copper layer on friction surfaces
•
Delivers important performance benefits
→ Reduces wear and protects friction surfaces
→ Extends lifetime of components and lubricants
→ Increases energy efficiency of engines and other industrial equipment
→ Lowers equipment downtime with longer service intervals
→ Cuts operating and maintenance costs
→ More environmentally friendly with lower emissions & reduced waste
CLINICALLY TESTED AND CONSIDERED EFFICIENT.
Fraunhofer-Institut für Werkstoffmechanik IWM (Germany):
”The examination of the
engine parts revealed
that Nanol regenerated
surfaces that showed
signs of wear and
corrosion ”
”The tests show that
Nanol additives
induce a significant
reduction of friction”
”It was shown that the
addition of Nanol did
not show any negative
interactions with other
additives .”
” With respect to
wear, the additives
do not impose a
hazard to the engine,
on the contrary, in
the tested stressing
range Nanol clearly
reduced wear.”

“Moreover, the
ingredients of Nanol
acted independently of
other additives, thus
showing stand-alone
wear and friction
reduction capabilities“

CLINICALLY TESTED AND CONSIDERED EFFICIENT. (2)
VTT – Technical Research Centre of Finland:
”The Nanol additive can
reduce friction
considerably in marine
engines”.
”Our recent published
studies show that in an
internal combustion
engine a reduction in
friction would have a
triple energy consumption
effect on fuel savings”.

WHY IS NANOL® DIFFERENT?
•
Nanol® lubricant additive is based on next generation nanotechnology
•
Traditional nano-additives are based on particles suspended in oil which are unstable and
cause agglomeration & precipitation
•
Poor solubility & dispersibility make these additives less effective
•
Nanol® is different because copper “particles” contained in reverse micelles covered by a
surfactant layer within a stable colloid – particles cannot be isolated
•
Produces a homogenous & stable system which is fully oil soluble additive and with no risk of
aggregation or sedimentation
•
Nanol® transports the copper “particles” in the micelles to friction surfaces where they form
a thin copper layer - reduces friction and provides wear protection

NEAR SURFACE VOLUME INTERACTIONS
• Lowering friction is one of
the most critical issues for
both engine designers and
lubricant producers.
• Reducing internal friction
increases the overall
engine efficiency.
• Decreasing friction also
prevents wear which
lowers operating costs.
• Nanol® works at the very
surface and in the nearsurface volume.

• Nanol® can be delivered as a
10 % concentrate which is
added at a 3 % ratio to the oil
volume
• Thus only 0,3 % of Nanol® is
required for obtaining the
desired effect

• Using Nanol® has also proved
to produce substantial cost
savings
