FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Technical advances have a dramatic impacts on our every day lives. Technologies once considered something beyond imagination, are now becoming common­place, for instance, mobile telephones, Internet technologies, cloning experiments, and so forth. One such technological advance is the recent discovery of revitalization. Rather than just changing man’s view on repair in the conventional sense of the word, it opens new resources in operating machines and mechanisms. At present, ХАDО is making active and sweeping inroads into different areas of science, technology and production. And while technologies are emanating from laboratories around the world for new industries, power engineering and transport, we invite you to jointly explore how the ХАDО revitalizant can dramatically change your life. You, our potential customers, no doubt have questions you need answering.  This FAQ section will answer the most typical, and most frequently asked questions, which we received from our over the past years. Conventionally, they fall into three categories: Automobiles, Industry and Firearms. We will also explain the physics of the process and demonstrate it graphically. Once you understand how ХАDО works, we hope you will be excited to try XADO for yourself.

What is revitalization?

The term “revitalization” (from Latin “vita” – life) literally translated means “returning to life”. The discovery of the revitalization phenomenon is based on unique physical and chemical processes, which, under specific conditions, can occur in the friction zone. In short, their essence consists of the following: during mechanical operation, excessive loads occur in the friction areas. At extremely heavy loads, excess destructive energy is released. But if we introduce a unique building material – a revitalizant – into the friction zone, then the energy released by the friction, will actually bind new material to the friction surface instead of destroying the material surface.

Let us discuss these processes in detail. How does wear usually occur?

Let us imagine a flaw in one of the friction surfaces. In this case, it is a scratch (in the cross-section) made along the axis of motion of the surfaces. Here, the metal atoms have non-compensated double bonds, i.e. such atoms, if force is applied, can be easily “captured”, energised to build up their oscillation, and detached from the matrix. Imagine a tree growing on the edge of a ravine. Due to the influences of water and wind, the soil gradually erodes the soil to expose the roots. The tree becomes unstable, and a strong gust of wind would be enough to uproot it. In simple terms, the same process occurs during surface wear. Atoms are easily dislodged and surface wear develops. Furthermore, under excessive loads, entire groups of atoms – clusters – can become dislodged, causing extreme wear.

This has always been the case until the phenomenon of REVITALIZATION was discovered, when scientists found that it was possible to reversing the process of wear by restoring the worn-out surface! It turned out that conditions could be created when the affected part is able to restore its surface thickness and size to its initial dimensions. To create such favourable conditions, it is necessary to introduce a specially synthesized substance – ХАDО revitalizant into the friction zone. It contains the building material for the new surface and a unique energy activator, which enables the excess friction energy to be harnessed in order to create a new matrix – in fact, a brand new surface.

How does the surface grow?

Revitalization starts in the areas where the greatest friction (the zone of heaviest wear) occurs, since it is exactly this location where sufficient excess energy exists to initiate a new process, and where metal atoms have the greatest number of free (non-compensated) bonds. These bonds, like magnets, capture and hold the building material – the revitalizant - where it is needed. Under the presence of the active load, the energy activator harnesses the excess energy to construct a new matrix. In simple terms, a new coating is formed on the old worn surface. In several minutes after the onset of revitalization, a cermet patch will appear on the scratch. The highlighted zone, the zone of abnormal activity, has disappeared. The energy processes have stabilized and surface growth stops. At the same time, mutual diffusion of two substances (metal and cermet) takes place to complete the process of building a new coating, cementing, and finally eliminating the flaw. the more the process continues the stronger the new surface becomes.

How is surface growth controlled?

Let us examine a part under a microscope. Even the smoothest surface, at high magnification, looks uneven and represents a continuous series of peaks and valleys. In time, wear will erode a weak surface and will dislodge and “expell” metal atoms, turning them into chips and making the grooves deeper. 100 % wear occurs, not when the part completely disintegrates, but when the magnified peaks start to abrade. As long as these peaks exist, the part can be restored by revitalization. However, the part will never gain in size more than required. As soon as the valley and peak become equal, the energy conditions required for revitalising disappears, and the conditions stabilise. As soon as the surface starts to wear in another location, the revitalazant left over form the previous treatment will immediately start revitalization all over again.

How big can the build-up be?

The actual layer created by XADO revitalizant is measured in microns (one-hundredths of micro meter in the engine and one-tenths of a micro meter in gear box wheels.

What does revitalization give?

Firstly, a new coating is formed on the surfaces of the friction pairs increasing the size by reclaiming the “one-hundredths” and “one-tenths” of material eroded from the surface and that is now suspended in the lubricating oil from the previous operations. This means ACTUAL REPAIR. Secondly, the coating created has a new unique property, namely, it is extremely robust, highly resistant to corrosion, with an extremely smooth surface. Therefore, after revitalization has begun the materials life expectancy will increase by 2 to 4-fold. This means PROTECTION FROM WEAR. Due to revitalization, you end up with a reconditioned part, which, to all intents and purposes, is superior to a the original.

You claim that the coatings obtained are unique. What are the key features?

The key features of the part’s surface before and after revitalization are as follows: increase in micro hardness (kg/micro metre2) from 65-280 to 650-750 range, after treatment; the roughness coefficient (Ra) before revitalization was 0.9-2.1, and after treatment it is 0.06; and above all a dramatic increase in corrosion-resistance characteristics.

I have a new automobile. Why do I need ХАDО?

During the first few miles when a new vehicle is being run-in, adjustment of friction surfaces takes place. Revitalization allows the vehicle to be run-in with the minimal of material wear, and offers the unique chance of preserving the entire machinery. The surface does not wear out because it is protected with a cermet coating, which is more durable than metal surface matrix. It will be the new cermet protective layer that will be subject to wear and tear, not the original metal surface. Note that during revitalization, the friction surfaces adjust to one another individually, this is only possible during manual assembly. This means you will receive a custom fitted engine in your automobile! If you are about to embark on a major engine overhaul, you’re just in time! Revitalising is critical for engines that have been overhauled because during typical overhaul you cannot repeat the steps the original surface hardening. When boring an engine, the upper layer that is especially hardened gets removed. And, if prior to first boring, the engine was running for about 200,000 km on average, then after the major overhaul this figure will fall to 70,000 km. This would ultimately happen if you do not use our XADO treatment. ХАDО will harden the surface for you! If the engine is new, or has just completed a major overhaul, will half a dose do? According to application instructions, new engines and those that have completed a major overhaul can be treated in one step – 2 tubes at a time. So, can my automobile be completely restored? Nothing in the world is infinite, and automobiles are no exception. The main point is to understand the revitalizant operating principle, and to apply it correctly. You see, many people suffer for years listening to the heart-breaking grating noise of the change-speed gearbox (CSG), or reducer, and are simply unaware of the fact that these failures can be easily treated. The noise disappears in several hours after the introduction of revitalization. Of course, there are no miracles in this world: a broken shaft can never be repaired, but laying down a protective coating of 0.02 to 0.05 micro metre on the cylinder wall, or of 1 micro metre on gears, is easily achievable.

Will the cermet layer grow and cause engine seizure?

No, the engine will not seize. Revitalizing is self-regulating. In fact, the formation of a cermet layer takes place in both friction surfaces that are affected by the same load. due to the high pressure and temperature, a cermet layer starts to form between the friction surfaces. Its thickness increases pro rata to the wear (the process was explained in the answer to question 1). As soon as the original worn surface has been repaired, the friction factor drops dramatically, and the XADO activation energy will also decrease. The process then stabilizes, and at some point, the energy will drop to a point where cermet growth will stop completely.

Will the cermet layer fail during operation?

No. Mutual diffusion of metal and the revitalizant forms a crystalline profile to the depth of 10 to 30 micro metres. There is no clear boundary between the matrix surface and the cermet layer, so the cermet layer cannot detach itself form the original metal structure.

Why does the amount of gel depend on the volume of oil, rather than on the degree of wear?

The amount of oil in the engine-and-gearbox unit is proportional to the areas affected by friction. The gel contains a sufficient amount of revitalizant to reconditioning any degree of wear and excess revitalizant in oil will not cause an excessive growth of the cermet layer (see question 1).

How often will the engine need to be treated?

The treatment again depends upon the amount of oil in the engine-and-gearbox unit (see question above).  This varies from 1 blister pack treatment up to 9 blister packs for larger engines.  The treatment for an average petrol or diesel saloon car with an oil capacity of 3 to 10 litres, is 3 blister packs.  Don't worry this is NOT required immediately but 1 pack for each 100-250 km. In all circumstances it is recommended that the full treatment is carried out.

Which oil is best for treatment, mineral or synthetic?

It makes no difference because the revitalizant is compatible with any kinds of oil and fuel grades. It is chemically inert and will not react to these substances, and does not affect their viscosity. Oil is all but a “carrier” for the revitalizant delivering it to the areas where the friction occurs. XADO does not treat oil!

Should the oil be replaced prior to revitalizing the engine?

No, this is not mandatory. The oil is replaced only if it has reached the end of its life span (3,000-6,000 miles typically). In this case, flush the engine, replace the oil, and start the treatment!

Can the ХАDО composition, mixed with the engine oil, settle on the bottom of the sump during prolonged parking of the automobile and, as a result, lose its effectiveness?

According to application instructions, after the revitalizant has been introduced, the engine has to be run at idle for at least five minutes. This is enough time for the revitalizant to locate the areas of friction and begin it's work and will not be affected by periods of in activity, such as parking.

Do I add ХАDО after each replacement of oil?

That is not necessary. The coating is formed in the first 1,500 to 2,000 km of operation, so there is no sense in draining the oil during this period. Having completed the treatment, oil is replaced as usual, and the ХАDО effect will not disappear with the oil. Moreover, the surface retains its new surface. Even after several (up to 10!) oil changes, specially applied scratches on the cylinder wall were restored.

When my car is idling, the oil pressure lamp blinks. Will XADO help?

There are many causes of reduced oil pressure, ranging from trivial failure of the oil sensor to a worn out oil pump, bushings, or crankshaft journals. If the wear is not catastrophic (not 100 %), ХАDО will definitely help! In any case, consult a certified technician.

Will ХАDО help with my excessive oil consumption?

The causes of excess oil consumption are numerous. Some of them are easy to eliminate, while others present a serious problem. If the problem is due to the extreme wear of the sleeve assembly, ХАDО can help, but even here, the degree of wear is a key factor. Let us remind you of manufacturers’ recommendations: consumption of 1 litre of oil per 1,000 km (for a petrol engine) points to practically 100 % wear, so a good mechanical diagnostics is always necessary.

How do you prove the claim of fuel saving up to 30%?

As a rule, excessive fuel consumption is caused by worn sleeve assemblies. After revitalization, the assembly geometry will be restored, and fuel consumption will be restored to its original value. In addition, a lower friction factor (surface finish 0.06 Ra instead of the usual 0.9 to 2.1 Ra) will significantly reduces friction loss. The result is a dramatic increase in fuel savings, up to 30 % at idle and 5 to 7 % when driving.

Why does compression in cylinders grow?

By restoring the cylinders’ geometry, compression grows by 10 to 20 % as early as in the first 500 to 1,000 km of operation. We have  witnessed cases when the compression increased from 4 - 6 atmospheres to 10 - 12 atmospheres. Usually, low compression values are caused by mechanical damage (piston burnout, valves, etc.), rather than by natural wear.

I have scheduled two major overhauls. Can the engine be re-bored as usual, or will I run into a problem cutting through cermet layer?

Of course, to be on the safe side the engine should be re-bored! Keep in mind that the cermet layer is formed to a depth of 10 to 30 micro metre, whereas the cutter removes a much greater layer of metal. But do you really need conventional major overhaul? The exceptional capacity that enables ХАDО technology to restore the geometry of engine parts will allow you to avoid these labour-intensive and expensive repairs. For instance, the repair of the sleeve assembly can be reduced to replacing damaged piston rings or replacing rings that have completely lost elasticity, replacing a burnt-out piston, etc. In other words, you would only need a “face-lift” repair, which takes only a few hours.

Can I treat a two-stroke cycle engine, or is XADO only for high-end vehicles?

Today, some two-stroke engines out perform 4-stroke ones. A scooter, for example, is more expensive than some new cars. There is a special gel for revitalizing cylinders. Its specific purpose is to recondition any cylinders, no matter if they are used in chain saws, motorcycles, or in heavy motor trucks.

Can valve guide rods be reconditioned?

Valves are protected with special oil-scraper cups (valve seals), so the amount of oil getting onto the valves and, respectively, of revitalizant, is small. If the valve wear is insignificant, the small amount of revitalizant is sufficient to protect and preserve the valves. If the wear is heavy, it will be necessary to replace the valves and the guide sleeves.

When treating ICEs, should the cylinders be treated also?

No, that’s not required. It’s quite a different matter if you want to restore the compression in one, two, three, or more cylinders without treating the entire engine, or to eliminate ring sticking (this is a frequently occurring problem because any overheating of the engine contributes to ring sticking). In this case, the gel revitalizant for reconditioning cylinders is exactly what you need! 

My “BMW” is very noisy in fifth gear. I changed the oil, but that didn’t help. Will ХАDО help?

A gearbox that is noisy in it's highest gear is not uncommon even in some new automobiles, in which, due to design features, the fifth gear runs in a almost lubrication dry state.  Earlier, attempts were made to solve this problem by adjustments. However, no adjustments are capable of coping with the wear that has already occurred and preventing future wear. The addition of the XADO gel revitalizant allows you to eliminate for good the noise that occurs in five-speed CSGs, as well as to improve positive gear change. The repair will appear within 25 to 30 miles after treatment.

I bought an automobile, and discovered that the previous owner used some kind of additives. Can I use ХАDО in this case?

Of course, you can. The ХАDО technology is compatible with all additives, metal conditioners, and re-metalisants, no matter how often they were used.

If I treat the diesel engine of a “VW Rabbit” with an engine gel, and then with a tube into each cylinder, will that be okay, or do I use one or the other?

As a rule, those who have experienced in full the effectiveness of using ХАDО ask such questions. ХАDО fans like to play safe and often increase the dosage in a hope to increase the effect.

Let us remind you that the doses have been carefully measured and meant specifically for each assembly, and they contain a required and sufficient amount of revitalizant. So we advise following the instructions exactly. Besides, using too much is just a waste of money.

“What do you advise for a “1988 BMW 325i” with 156,000 miles?” or “I have a foreign-make car. Will ХАDО help?”

These are the two most frequently asked questions. Many people address us by starting with a description of the model of their car and its specific condition. ХАDО will treat any car make or model whatever mileage.

If one takes your ads seriously, then it’s possible to run with no lubricant at all?

We run with a dry case only to demonstrate the quality of the coatings obtained. The first dry run was undertaken in early 1999. A renowned racing driver drove a vehicle at maximum speed, and performed complex driving maneuvers in a car without a drop of lubricant. He became a believer in ХАDО only when he had “burned” a set of tyres. Driving without any lubricant was an obligatory requirement to obtain the Chinese state certification. The Chinese diesel-engine truck “Liberation” with an 8-ton load was driven with a dry case during a whole day work shift for 204 km! At present, the truck was put back into full operation load, and is checked regularly. All the improved parameters, obtained during treatment, remained intact!

It wasn’t ХАDО’s intention to make a product for “dry driving”. Why do we set up such demonstrations? And why do we write about them? The answer is straightforward: We demonstrate that it is possible to drive with a dry oil case only to show the quality of coatings created by the revitalazant, and for you to understand that, by treating your car, you will be provided with not only a revitaized repair but a guarantee against extreme oil loss! Now your automobile is super protected by ХАDО, and ХАDО won’t let you down!

I’m satisfied with the treatment results, but how long will the Cermet coating last?

Say, the compression in the cylinder before treatment was 10 kgf/cm2, and after treatment, it became 13 kgf/cm2. The manufacturer guarantees that during a year, after any mileage run, that this value will not decrease. In practice, a vehicle can be run without the loss of the cermet surface for up to 100,000 km. After that, any partially worn cermet layer can be completely restored by repeating revitalization.

Can I treat the crankshaft independently of the engine? Where can one buy parts treated with XADO?

The cermet coating is formed by a self-regulating process and the interaction of the friction surfaces of a mechanism. Moreover, the coating is formed precisely at the point of wear, and, hence, precision fitting of sizes is affected. Only manual assembly makes this possible without using ХАDО.

Of course, the engine-and-gearbox unit can be dismantled and sold separately, though this will be impractical because during revitalization, the parts are treated and fitted to each other in pairs. This adjustment process is so specific that dismantling a pair makes no sense because the new assembly will have to be revitalized all over again.

Can all compressors be treated with the ХАDО technology?

Yes, practically all. Treatment yields the following: increase in oil pressure; reduction of clearances of the connecting rod gear (CRG); elimination of oval wear and taper in the sleeve assembly; and reconditioning of worn surfaces to 0.5 micro metres. Sleeve assemblies in oxygen compressors cannot be treated because the they do not contain a lubricant to carry the revitalizant.

How can the compression be measured properly?

Here is an advice from a renowned expert, the Director of the firm “AB-Engineering”, A. Khruliev, Ph.D.:

When measuring the compression, observe the following rules: warm up the engine, and cut off the fuel feed. To do so, you can switch off the fuel pump, close the nozzles, or use any other methods preventing the feed of fuel into the cylinders. Remove all the spark plugs. Selective removal of spark plugs, practiced by some service centers, is inadmissible since this increases the rotation resistance and spontaneously reduces the revolutions when the engine is cranked with the starter. The storage battery should be fully charged and the starter should be in good condition. The compression is measured with both an open and a closed throttle valve. Both methods yield respective results, making it possible to define specific defects (see the Table below).

 Defects and faults in a petrol engine detected by measuring the compression

What does one do when it is difficult to remove the old lubricant?

In this case, it is better to use the Repair lubricant. Add it directly to the standard assembly lubricant. The high concentration of revitalizant in this lubricant makes it possible to restore the heavily worn-out parts to factory the factory tolerances, and further more, ensures practically an unlimited service period. All ХАDО lubricants are mutually compatible, and their combined use can literally drag any mechanism out of the junk yard.

How are grease lubricated mechanisms revitalized?

this is possible by using our ХАDО greases. First, determine the degree of wear, and depending on this, use the appropriate XADO grease.

Protective Grease is used for new assemblies, or those with insignificant wear (up to 10 %); it is a versatile substitute for any grease.

Restoring Grease contains a greater number of active components, so, rather than just protecting the part’s surface, it also restores its geometry. It is used for assemblies and mechanisms with a degree of wear up to 50 %.

Repairing Grease is used for assemblies with 80 % worn surfaces.

How do I apply the ХАDО Grease to the bearing?

Here the rules are the same as for any other lubricant. First, remove the old standard grease, and then apply the new grease. Do not completely fill the inner bearing body with grease - this is a common error. Excess grease in a bearing is, in fact, provides an additional load which cause overheating and will accelerate wear. Refer to manufacturer’s suggested amount of grease that can be applied. ХАDО grease can be used for the entire service period of the bearing (or other assembly), and requires no subsequent replacing.

Can roller bearings be reconditioned separately from the mechanism which they are part of?

In principle, this is possible, but when revitalizing a bearing assembly in the standard way, the acting surfaces are adjusted independently to one another . However, if revitalization is performed on a bench (let’s call this method an artificial one), then after the bearing has been refitted, it may be that the bearing will not run with the reconditioned friction surfaces.

Our company works with machine tools. How will we benefit from this treatment?

A machine tool is a complex piece of equipment, but it is still a mechanism, so naturally, revitalization improves its performance. We would like to draw your attention to the extreme effectiveness of ХАDО for high-precision machine tools. The spindle is the key component of any machine tool. It is a highly loaded assembly running at high speeds (up to 30,000 rpm, and in coordinate grinding machines the speed even reaches 84,000 rpm). This leads to significant wear in a very short time period. Experts know that conventional repair of such assemblies is, in many cases, impossible because of the specificity, complexity and shortage of parts. Here is where ХАDО comes handy! Revitalization with one of the special high-speed ХАDО greases allows the spindle operations to achieve the required certification. Rejects are practically eliminated, this being of critical importance during any finishing operations.

Does the cermet layer build up on non-ferrous metals?

Yes, a cermet layer is formed on all “metal-metal” friction pairs, including non-ferrous metals and alloys. For example, when dismantling an internal combustion engine, one can see that a cermet layer has been formed both on the inner surfaces of the cylinder, and on the acting surface of the crankshaft bearing bushing made from an aluminum alloy. In full compliance with the theory, a thicker layer has been formed on the surfaces of heaviest wear. When revitalizing worm reduction gearboxes, the cermet layer is formed both on the worm acting surface, and on the teeth of the worm wheel, which is usually made of a non-ferrous metal like bronze.

I saw an ad for a gel that treats firearm barrels. Does ХАDО have a product like this?

Yes, ХАDО technology knows how to recondition any mechanisms, simple, complex, small and big ones, ranging from watches to nuclear power plant turbines – where ever where there is motion and friction. For clear, effective and fast demonstration of the effectiveness of the technology, there is no better option than a “barrel-projectile”. Here is an ideal example where all the conditions required for the formation of a cermet coating are in place, namely a very high temperature, significant friction energy and interaction of materials with different strengths. The revitalization process takes place literally in front of your eyes. The handgun certification test laboratory “Rzhevka” at military unit 33491, jointly with the editorial board of the magazine “Kalashnikov. Firearms. Ammunition. Equipment”, have carried out extensive tests of the revitalizant. The action of the composition was tested on new and used firearms with chromed and non-chromed barrels.

Based on the results of these tests, we can credibly answer the following several questions.

What does barrel treatment provide?

Revitalising a rifle barrel provides the following: geometry restoration (complete shuttering) and protection from bore surface wear; maximum impact force for the given type of ammunition; a 10-fold increase in wear resistance and barrel life; an increase in firing flatness, the key factor is an increase in firing accuracy by 2 to 3-fold!

Is any preliminary preparation of the barrel needed prior to revitalization?

No special preparation is needed. Standard cleaning of the bore is enough.

What is the critical barrel wear, at which ХАDО will fail to help?

The ХАDО revitalizant improves the firing performance of any firearm at any degree of wear.

What is the service life of a reconditioned barrel?

A special experiment was needed to answer this question. First, a new chrome barrel was revitalized. Even though the barrel spread characteristics complied with the standard acceptable, the firing accuracy increased by 23 % after treatment with ХАDО! Next, life tests were started. This meant firing 200 tracer rounds in succession. The firearm became so sizzling hot that the stock varnish coating began to run. It was cooled in the simplest way by dipping it into a bucket of water. Everybody waited impatiently for the results of the test. Sceptics wagered that the coating wouldn’t withstand the extreme temperature drops and would simply peel off. The results surprised even the developers of XADO! The firing accuracy increased by an additional 46.6 %! The service life tests carried out at the Rzhevsk test grounds allow us to claim that the service life is 10,000 shots with no loss of improved performance. Under normal loads, you’ll be able to keep the barrel in an ideal condition at all times by treating it once a year with the green gel (5 shots).

Does the treated barrel need any maintenance?

No special maintenance is required. Moreover, the protected inner surface of the barrel is subject less to corrosion attack than conventional coatings are. Remember that chippings and micro cracks are restored even on chromed barrel coatings!

In one case, the firearm with a reconditioned barrel was kept in a room with excess humidity for several months. Will the revitalizing effect disappear?

No, it won’t. Special barrel rusting and exposure tests have shown that the performance of a treated barrel does not degrade.

Does it make any difference whether the barrel is chromed, or not?

The revitalizant improves the shooting characteristics of any barrel, both chromed, and un chromed.

I am a marksman, and own a top of the range rifle. How will I benefit from revitalizing the barrel?

After revitalization, shooting accuracy, even for high-precision barrels, will certainly increase.

I have a shotgun with a pit in the chrome coating. Will ХАDО help?

Yes, it will. The main point is to observe the revitalization principle, i.e. to ensure sufficient friction by contact between the bullet and barrel surface. You might want to use a bullet of a special design. In which case, you can draw more extensive conclusions and back up both of our tests.

Is ХАDО toxic?

No. All our products have a Material Safety Certificate (MSC) to allow them to be use within the food industry, as well as a hygienic certificate.
