[QUOTE="littlelordfauntleroy, post: 2730058, member: 59692"] Hey Proton63t haha! Thanks as i am in marketing :-) but if what was in articles like this wasn't true then the FTC would stop NASA and X1R from publishing such material. For example slick 50 with its claims regarding PTFE or Teflon were found by the FTC not to have any scientific proof or evidence. As a result they were ordered to 'cease and desist from' making such claims. http://www.ftc.gov/os/1997/10/ashland.htm http://www.ftc.gov/opa/1997/07/slick.shtm http://www.ftc.gov/os/1996/07/d9280cmp.pdf The FTC takes action based on the claims made by marketing and relating them to the scientific tests and studys made on the actual product itself. You will see on page 14 of my 3rd link "any substantially similar motor oil product containing polytetrafluoroethylene (hereinafter "PTFE"), in or affecting commerce, as "commerce" is defined in the Federal Trade Commission Act, do forthwith cease and desist from representing, in any manner, directly or by implication, that: A. Automobile engines generally have little or no protection from wear at or just after start-up unless they have been treated with such product; B. Automobile engines commonly experience premature failure caused by wear unless they are treated with such product; or C. Such product coats engine parts with a layer of PTFE." You will find much more interesting reading on the FTC site especially from P14 of my third link onwards. This action taken by the FTC regarding PTFE makes me wonder how good or bad Tufoil is. The 'active ingredient' in Tufoil is PTFE right? [/QUOTE]
