Advantages of DSS
Q: What is the payback period when applying DSS?
A: The payback period ranges from 2 weeks to 6 months. The exact timeframe depends on the type and condition of the equipment, as well as the purpose of the treatment. In general, the more valuable the machinery and the greater the costs associated with its downtime, the faster the investment in DSS pays off.

Q: What is the economic efficiency of DSS?
A: Experience with DSS application shows that it is up to six times more cost-effective compared to a major overhaul of internal combustion engines. This calculation does not even include additional benefits such as savings in fuel, oil, and time, as well as the elimination of downtime.

Q: How do DSS and the RSM compounds used in it differ from other friction-reducing additives?
A: There are various types of friction-reducing additives — metal-plating agents, surface conditioners, polymer-based (e.g. Teflon), and mineral-based (graphite, molybdenum, diamond, and others). All of them dissolve in lubricants, altering their properties and/or forming unstable surface films on the parts.
The substances used in DSS, however, are fundamentally different:

All of them dissolve in lubricants, altering their properties and/or forming unstable surface films on the parts.
The substances used in DSS, however, are fundamentally different:
- They do not dissolve in oils or other petroleum products;
- They do not alter any parameters or characteristics of the lubricants used;
- They interact only with the friction surfaces, forming an extremely durable, firmly bonded metal-ceramic layer;
- They do not require reapplication after changing the lubricant;
- They simultaneously reduce clearances, harden surfaces, and lower both friction and operating temperature.
Q: Is reapplication required after changing the oil or lubricants?
A: No, reapplication is not necessary. Once formed, the metal-ceramic layer remains stable and lasts several times longer than the service life of the lubricants. For instance, after treating the internal combustion engine of a passenger car, a subsequent treatment is typically needed only after 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

Q: Is it beneficial to treat new equipment and machinery with DSS?
A: Yes. When applied to new machines and equipment, DSS significantly extends their operational lifespan while simultaneously improving key performance indicators such as energy efficiency and lubricant consumption.

Q: How does DSS support equipment operation under emergency conditions?
A: The metal-ceramic layer formed by DSS is capable of withstanding extreme loads, enabling machinery to operate safely for a limited time even in the complete absence of lubrication. Numerous field cases confirm this effect.
A notable example involves an off-road vehicle that suffered a crankcase rupture, resulting in total oil loss. Despite this, the driver traveled over 140 km at normal speed, with passengers and cargo, without the engine seizing or sustaining any damage.

Q: Can DSS improve machine performance under harsh operating conditions?
A: Absolutely. DSS consistently delivers exceptional results in equipment operating under harsh climatic and mechanical environments—including frequent overloads, extreme high or low temperatures, heavy dust exposure, abrasive contaminants, and the use of lower-grade lubricants. The metal-ceramic layer created by DSS remains intact and stable, even under sudden temperature fluctuations or impact loads. Its hardness rivals that of high-alloy steels, providing excellent resistance to abrasive wear and extending the durability of critical components.

Q: What is the metal-ceramic layer?
A: The metal-ceramic layer formed through DSS treatment is an advanced, self-forming surface structure with extraordinary mechanical and tribological properties, unattainable with conventional additives or coatings.

- It becomes an integral part of the base metal, forming a strong metallurgical bond rather than a superficial coating.
- It remains stable under all conditions—it does not peel, crack, or degrade, even under extreme loads or temperature variations.
- The layer has the remarkable ability to grow beyond the original metal surface to a self-regulated, optimal thickness based on the operating environment.
- It offers exceptional resistance to wear, scratching, and micro-fractures, surpassing the durability of the underlying metal.
- Its monocrystalline structure achieves a finish comparable to precision polishing, which reduces frictional losses and distributes loads evenly across contact areas.
Q: Can DSS be applied after using other types of additives?
A: Yes. DSS can be applied even after the use of metal-plating, graphite, or molybdenum-based additives, as these substances do not affect the effectiveness or outcome of the DSS treatment.

Q: How can counterfeit RSM products be identified?
A: The only reliable way is to request official product certificates. Unfortunately, the market is flooded with ineffective products falsely advertised as RSM equivalents. These include both counterfeits and private-label imitations, offered at a wide range of prices. According to feedback from our clients, the best outcome observed after using such substitutes is a complete lack of any noticeable effect.

Q: Can applying DSS cause damage to the treated equipment?
A: For RSM products intended for end users, the answer is NO.
When using RSM products intended for professional application, it is essential to strictly follow all usage requirements—particularly the rule that they must not be applied to equipment that is already damaged. For this reason, their use is permitted only by a certified specialist, who is responsible for selecting the appropriate type and amount of RSM and determining the correct application procedure, based on a prior inspection of the equipment and measurement of its characteristics.

Q: Can I stop changing the lubricants after DSS treatment?
A: ABSOLUTELY NO!!! If somebody allows You to stop changing the oil after DSS-likely treatment, it is 100% indication of money-only oriented partner. DSS allows to elongate oil lifetime, BUT under control of parameters. Also, DSS allows equipment operation in oil starvation conditions, but as incidental cases, for limited periods, if no another choice. DSS helps to save the equipment health in accidents with oil starvation.
