Most people don’t realize the profound impact that friction and wear have on daily life. Nearly 20% of the world's total energy consumption is lost to friction, and over 20% of pollutants in the air result from mechanical inefficiencies. For decades, industries have relied on synthetic lubricants and greases to mitigate these losses. However, these solutions are temporary, requiring frequent reapplication and often introducing toxic, long-lasting chemicals into the environment.

At Duravi, we believe there’s a better way.

Traditional lubricants coat metal surfaces to reduce friction, but this film wears off over time, requiring constant maintenance. Duravi’s Catalytic Alloying and Atomic Rearrangement (CAAR) Solution goes further—it persistently modifies metal surfaces at the molecular level to reduce wear and enhance durability.

OUR TECHNOLOGY

ViSUAL evidence

Independent Laboratory Analysis

An independent study by RTI compared metal surfaces treated with Duravi and Mobil 1 lubricants using advanced testing methods — including SEM, EDS, FTIR, metallography, and microhardness analysis.

The results were clear:

Microscopic imaging showed that Duravi-treated metal had a significantly smaller wear zone than the surface treated with Mobil 1.

In other words, Duravi provided stronger surface protection and less material degradation under identical conditions.

Treated with Duravi

CAAR Process

Duravi’s CAAR (Catalytic Alloying and Atomic Rearrangement) process works at the metal surface level to reduce friction, improve energy transfer, and extend asset life.

Unlike traditional lubricants that create a temporary barrier, Duravi restructures the surface itself—delivering measurable performance improvements without relying on oil-based systems.

Vibrational evidence

Vibration Reduction in Amazon Distribution Center Gear Box

Gear box hydraulic system was overheating causing component failure every three months. Before Duravi Treatment, vibration averaged nearly 1.0 in/s (very high). After Duravi Treatment, vibration dropped nearly 50%, and over time stabilizing below 0.5 in/s.

DEMO

Experience the power of Duravi Catalyst in action. Watch as our demonstration on steel highlights its ability to transform metal surfaces, reduce friction, and enhance durability like never before.

Hardening Evidence

Treating metal with Duravi increases the metal’s hardness without sacrificing flexibility or increasing brittleness.

Graph showing hardness test results at an RTI lab for different types of steel and treatments. The chart compares Vickers hardness scale values for bronze, tungsten alloy, titanium, soft steel, high-quality hardened steel, and control metal, mobile 1 treated steel, and Duravi treated steel. Duravi treated steel has the highest hardness at 1138, followed by mobile 1 and control. The graph includes footnotes about steel treatments and their effects on hardness.
