1. What equipment can be restored by the RVS Technology^®?
Practically anything where any lubricant exists between two sliding or friction surfaces. In addition to this, at least one of the surfaces has to be made of iron-containing metal. The more iron in the metal, the better the RVS compound works.

2. Can the RVS compound break any equipment?
After years of work and tens, if not hundreds of thousands of mechanisms treated there are no signs that the RVS compound of today has been the reason for a break-down. The formed ferrosilicate layer does not crack off the metal surface and the RVS compound is not abrasive by its nature. The particle size of the RVS compound is less than 10 µm, and after reaching the surface to be treated, the particles are milled further.

3. How does the RVS Technology^® differ from oil additives that can be found in the market?
The RVS Technology^® cannot be regarded as an oil additive at all, because it does not change the properties of oils. The RVS Technology^® affects the surfaces that are usually kept apart by oils and additives. Read more about the topic here.

4. If the use of the RVS Technology^® reduces friction, does it cause increased oil consumption in internal combustion engines as many oil additives?
The principle of function of the RVS Technology^® is different from that of the additives. Many additives change the viscosity of oil, and that is why the oil can leak more easily on the piston via piston rings and burn. The task of the RVS Technology^® is not to change the properties of oil (although it happens due to the gel constituent of the RVS Technology^® products, but its significance is minimal due to the small amount of the material) but to modify surfaces. As the new surface is a lot smoother than the original metal surface, the friction is also reduced. THE RVS TECHNOLOGY^® CANNOT INCREASE OIL CONSUMPTION IF IT IS USED PROPERLY. One has to remember, however, that if the treatment procedures are not fully completed (for example, only one treatment carried out), it may happen that the surfaces have been cleaned but new surface structure has not been formed. The oil consumption may thus temporarily increase but the engine is improved by fully completing the treatment program.

5. Can the RVS Technology^® be used otherwise but mixed with oils?
There is in principle no obstacle to that, and RVS professionals use the RVS compound in other ways as well. The way of using the RVS Technology® in such applications depends so much on the application that no universal instruction can be given. That is why you should put a detailed question to Oy RVS Technology Ltd.

6. Why has it taken so long a time from detecting the reaction to the appearance of the RVS Technology^® in the market place?
When the reaction was detected in the 1970's, the new surface formation on worn surfaces became possible quite soon. The control of the reaction was a problem for a long time, which resulted in equipment break-down. In principle, everything depended on finding the right catalysts as the basic mineral of the RVS compound is still the same, with which the research was started for over quarter of a century ago. The present formula has been known since the middle of the 1990's, but it needed numerous tests as well before it was ready to be launched. And human attitudes and prejudices are another story ...

7. How does the use of the RVS Technology^® affect wet clutches used in motorcycles?
Clutch discs do not contain ferrous metals, and that is why the RVS compound does not react with them. The RVS compound has practically no effect on the properties of the oil. We have treated quite a big number of motorcycle engines and there have never been problems with any clutches.
When treating motorcycle engines, one has to take into account that the transmission is treated simultaneously. That is why all the gears should be used as equally (i.e. for similar periods of time and with equal loading) as possible during the first hundreds of kilometres.
