MICSA engine treatment is a concentrated liquid preparation consisting of P.T.F.E. (Polytetrafluorethylene) particles in suspension. In MICSA there are a few different products which ranges between two to seven different grades of P.T.F.E. combined that are used to give the maximum protection against wear and extremes of temperature plus friction free operation of your engine or mechanical part. P.T.F.E. is the substance with the lowest coefficient of friction of any material known to man today. It has a temperature operating range of -100°C to 290°C and will operate for short periods in the 450°C range long after other lubricants have deteriorated into hard films.
TECHNICAL ADAPTABILITY
When MICSA engine treatment is introduced into the engine via the oil filler it coats all wearing surfaces of the engine through a chemical process known as Polymerization. In this process the microscopic molecules of P.T.F.E. link together under the influence of heat to form a network Polymer which makes up a tough protective film. After this Polymerised layer is formed, heat no longer has any effect on it, and it is not dissolved by any solvents. This process only takes place at temperatures above 55°C. Because MICSA is chemically inert it does not mix with your oil; the oil only carries it until such time as the process of Polymerization is complete. The parent liquid of the preparation is a volatile detergent liquid, which has a cleaning action on the parts to be coated before it evaporates. 
Application of MICSA will vary depending on the amount of metal-to-metal contact/pressure. Since a layer of polymer (which contains the bonded MICSA) has to be worn off, the amount of time this takes will vary. Because of the high wear resistance of MICSA, one treatment lasts for 100,000 km's or 5,000 hours under normal conditions or as recommended by oil sample analysis. The best way to tell when more MICSA is needed is to monitor the piece of equipment over time and determine when the effects of MICSA are no longer evident. Among the things that can be monitored are temperature, vibration, sound, energy consumption and wear. Some companies use a measure of metal wear particles (at each oil change) to determine when more MICSA Engine treatment is needed. When the metal particle count is back to where it was when MICSA was added, it is time for more MICSA. Please note; fuel dilution, excessive idling, faulty pumps, injectors or low standard fuel will have MINIMAL effect on engine wear factors.
ECONOMICAL TO USE
MICSA is a concentrated formula that is used in relatively small amounts and lasts for a very long time. For diesel engines, the application ratio is only 10% of the sump capacity. For gearboxes, hydraulic systems and many other applications MICSA is used initially at 5% of base or sump value. After the first treatment, the dosage may be reduced slightly because these subsequent applications need only supply enough MICSA to treat the surface areas of metal where wear has occurred and the last treatment has worn off. It is extremely easy to test MICSA results by using temperature gauges, oil analyses, vibration testing, amp meters etc.
