How Formula 7 Technology Works
Patented monomolecular technology that bonds directly to metal surfaces, providing protection that goes far beyond traditional oil additives.
The Nano Monomolecular Technology Advantage
Petron Plus Formula 7 Nano Monomolecular technology utilizes molecules that are just 0.1 micron in size—much smaller than a human hair at 50 microns. For comparison, solid additives like PTFE, Teflon, molybdenum disulfide, and graphite are 2 to 10 microns in size. The Petron Plus Formula 7 molecules are roughly the size of a cold virus, and in that conjunction "can't be stopped" from reaching friction surfaces.
Once these tiny molecules reach the friction face, intermolecular forces pull them directly to the metal surface where they cluster to fill in any pores or roughness. The remaining areas are covered by a layer just one molecule deep—hence the term "monomolecular." This creates an extremely high shear strength microscopic layer that provides outstanding smooth running and reduced friction characteristics under the most demanding conditions.
Unlike traditional additives, Formula 7 contains none of the common EP agents such as molybdenum disulfide, graphite, Teflon, PTFE resins, copper, lead, silver, or other metals. It also doesn't contain Carbon Tetrachloride, Trichloroethane, Chlorinated Paraffin, or any harmful solvents, making it safe for all engine components and seal materials.
Technical Validation: Petron Plus Formula 7 represents over 45 years of proven technology, with the original formulation developed in 1978 and U.S. Patent protection secured in 1985. This synthetic, multi-functional lubricant has undergone extensive research, product development, and market testing. The technology has evolved into over 450 specialized products, demonstrating the versatility and effectiveness of the core monomolecular bonding technology across diverse industrial and automotive applications.
The Science Behind Formula 7
Understanding why our technology delivers superior results compared to conventional oil additives
Traditional Oil Additives vs Formula 7
Traditional Oil Additives
- • Suspended particles in oil
- • Drain out with oil changes
- • Temporary protection only
- • Can clog filters over time
- • Inconsistent coverage
- • Larger particle size (2-10 microns)
Formula 7 Nano Monomolecular Technology
- • Bonds directly to metal surfaces using intermolecular forces
- • Stays in place through multiple oil changes
- • Permanent molecular bonding (0.1 micron size)
- • Won't clog filters or oil passages
- • Complete surface coverage
- • Will not void vehicle warranties
