X-52 uses the ER effect to enhance the performance of the lubricant to which it is added. This effect uses the minute static electrical charge generated by the friction to increase the viscosity of a lubricant.
Viscosity is the lubricating capability of a lubricant.
When an engine runs at high RPM or at high temperatures, normal lubricants tend to break down. X-52 is introducing a revolution. It is used in ballistics to increase accuracy of ammunition while decreasing fouling of the barrels. It is revolutionizing the automotive industry, by reducing the loss of horsepower where friction is a substantial design factor, reducing fuel consumption, increasing oil life, and reducing toxic emissions. This highly advanced product achieves all of these results without altering its natural structure.
