MICSA is an Swiss based company that has been in South Africa since as early as 1979. MICSA South Africa has the Sole distribution of MICSA products across Africa.
MICSA is a completely new technology with its closest affinity being high quality synthetic oils.
MICSA is not an additive in the normal sense of word as it does not in anyway change the characteristics of the primary oil or lubricant agent but rather, it is a high quality metal conditioner that lubricates any working part or machine thereby reducing friction and ultimately wear and tear. The MICSA range are breakthrough lubricants, greases have successfully been marketed to the industry worldwide.
The high value of MICSA for Industrial Maintenance has been proven over and over by many well known industrial companies and has been used successfully in vehicle, aviation, fleet, marine, and motorcycle, firearm and industrial applications. MICSA is THE ONLY concentrated polymer/metal conditioner that has successfully penetrated the industrial market world-wide and even more importantly has been proven to be completely safe in metal-to-metal friction environments with not one report from industry indicating a detrimental effect or negative outcome. Simply stated MICSA’S Lubricant. Grease and Treatment series are by far the most revolutionary metal conditioner and protective friction reducing products available today.

MICSA engine treatment is a concentrated liquid preparation consisting of P.T.F.E. (Polytetratluorethylene) particles in suspension. In MICSA there are a few different products which ranges between two to seven different grades of P.T.F.E. combined that are used to give the maximum protection against wear and extremes of temperature plus friction free operation of your engine or mechanical part. P.T.F.E. is the substance with the lowest coefficient of friction of any material known to man today. It has a temperature operating range of -100°C to 290°C and will operate for short periods in the 450°C range long after other lubricants have deteriorated into hard films.
When MICSA engine treatment is introduced into the engine via the oil filler it coats all wearing surfaces of the engine through a chemical process known as Polymerization. In this process the microscopic molecules of P.T.F.E. link together under the influence of heat to form a network Polymer which makes up a tough protective film. After this Polvmerised laver is formed, heat no longer has any effect on it, and it is not dissolved by any solvents. This process only takes place at temperatures above 55°C. Because MICSA is chemically inert it does not mix with your oil; the oil only carries it until such time as the process of Polymerization is complete. The parent liquid of the preparation is a volatile detergent liquid, which has a cleaning action on the parts to be coated before it evaporates.
Application of MICSA will vary depending on the amount of metal-to-metal contact/pressure. Since a layer of polymer (which contains the bonded MICSA) has to be worn off, the amount of time this takes will vary. Because of the high wear resistance of MICSA, one treatment lasts for 100,000 km’s or 5,000 hours under normal conditions or as recommended by oil sample analysis. The best way to tell when more MICSA is needed is to monitor the piece of equipment over time and determine when the effects of MICSA are no longer evident. Among the things that can be monitored are temperature, vibration, sound, energy consumption and wear. Some companies use a measure of metal wear particles (at each oil change) to determine when more MICSA Engine treatment is needed. When the metal particle count is back to where it was when MICS was added, it is time for more MICSA. Please note; fuel dilution, excessive idling, faulty pumps, injectors or low standard fuel will have MINIMAL effect on engine wear factors.
One of the most essential characteristics of MICSA is its base of P.T.F.E., which is produced from a powder moulded freely by compression. It is a Fluorocarbon polymer whereby the main fluorescing is Polytetra Fluorethylene. P.T.F.E. is a plastic material with practically universal resistance of a Density 2-2, 3 and has the following outstanding properties:
The higher fuel savings, in the order of 10%, take place progressively as treated engines experience less wear than untreated engines, i.e. they are preserved in the ‘new’ condition much longer while untreated engines wear out. Power, ease of starting, blow-by, smoking and more frequent oil changes are avoided. Oil monitoring has demonstrated this.

JUST THE FACTS OF MICSA 926
Fuel savings involves three main areas:
• The immediate saving on a particular piece of equipment.
• The long term saving on that equipment
• The global saving on a fleet
These are obviously related but each involves different approaches and measurements. From the technical and financial viewpoint, whatever process is
followed, the result must be measurable in the normal financial feedback numbers. If the fuel saving process also has a marginal improvement on the engine power, the
operator will use the additional power to do the task quicker. This means that part of the saving will be a productivity improvement, not seen directly in the fuel figures.
TECHNICAL DATA
We know that MICSA 926 is not an oil ADDITIVE but an engine treatment, which is transported by the oil to all lubricated surfaces in the engine. One such surface is the cylinder wall. The layer of P.T.F.E., which is, deposited on the cylinder by the piston ring (see photo-micrograph), insulates the combustion gases “working fluid” from the water jacket. As P.T.F.E. has a very high thermal resistance, even although only 3 to 5 microns thick, it prevents a significant amount of heat passing to the cooling system. This heat remains in the combustion gases (working fluid), increasing the mean effective pressure on the piston, producing more work from the same amount of fuel injected. This is an improvement in the thermodynamic efficiency which is also being exploited by the use of ceramics in some engine developments to raise the pressure and temperatures. The P.T.F.E. also improves the seal between the piston, ring and cylinder by filling voids. This reduces “blow-by” which is simply a waste of energy (and fuel). The improved seal captures the combustion gases, retaining the pressures so they can do maximum work. The fuel saving is NOT a result of the reduction of friction between the piston, ring and cylinder wall. That friction only occurs at start-up when they are in contact. Once they start moving, hydrodynamic lubrication is established and ‘friction’ is governed by shearing of the oil film between them. Less viscous oil uses less power when running. This improvement is around 5% so it is not really visible in the day operation of equipment, but will show in the monthly figures. A secondary benefit from this insulating layer is that the working parts of the engine reach normal operating temperature sooner BUT the temperature gauge takes longer to register as less heat is entering the cooling system. These phenomena have been demonstrated during dynamometer tests.

Quite simply, MICSA GREASE lasts longer than other greases. Since the MICSA metal conditioner (P.T.F.E.) contained in MICSA GREASE provides most of the lubrication, the grease itself does less actual work. The great reduction in internal triction, heat and wear means the grease maintains its original chemical and physical properties longer. Since the grease does not degrade as rapidly, it does not need to be replaced as frequently.
Some of the best greases in the world contain advanced anti-wear agents, top quality polymers, high-viscosity base oils, lithium-complex soap thickeners and natural rust inhibitors. What sets MICSA GREASES apart is that in addition to these top class ingredients MICSA adds the substance with the lowest co-efficient known to man Polytetrafluorethylene (P.T.F.E.) which is unique in its ability to form a physical and chemical bond within all metal surfaces, thereby reducing internal friction, heat and wear.
MICSA GREASES are exceptionally versatile. It can perform in varied adaptations from heavy-duty high performance applications such as CV joints pin & bush to water resistant, high temperature wheel bearings, sliding surfaces, guides gears and chains.
Every industrial application, including drilling equipment, rock crushers, lumber mills, gravel and sand screens, conveyor belts, marine equipment etc. Every Fleet and Automotive application, including all, CV and Universal joints, steering gear, equaliser bar, hydraulic hammer, mobile cranes, water pumps etc. Every Agricultural, logging, mining, construction and technical application where maximum protection against extreme conditions is required etc.
Due to the revolutionary inclusion of P. T.F.E. in MICSA GREASE, the product simply outperforms all other greases by extending equipment life, reducing downtime, improves efficiency and protects against unscheduled maintenance. MICSA GREASE will improve your profit margins by reducing maintenance costs, lowering energy usage, and dropping capital equipment replacement. Peace of mind when operating away from home base.
The benefits of MICSA GREASE are vast and far outperform any “normal” grease:
Airdrying polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) base, a bonded lubricant that prevents fretting, scuffing, and seizure. The dry coating will not collect abrasive dust during service.

Interested in MICSA Products ?
MICSA has the unique ability to work in the presence of water, solvents and other contaminants. It does this by giving the metal its own lubricating ability. Oil contamination destroys the oils ability to provide the necessary film strength for continued lubrication. The MICA treated metal surface can provide its own lubrication despite severely contaminated oil. MICSA has greatly reduced wear levels in engines with the result that equipment life is extended both through wear reduction and through avoidance of catastrophic failure.
MICSA improves efficiency and extends the life of this equipment. MICSA has been used extensively in coal mining. Coal dust is a frequent oil contaminant that causes parts to wear out quickly. MICS has been proven to dramatically extend the life of equipment despite coal dust intrusion
