Smart Surface Technology for Fuel Savings & Emission Reduction at Sea

Improve engine reliability, reduce costs, and cut CO₂ with one surface treatment.
Applicable to all critical marine engine and gearbox systems – validated under real-world conditions
WEARTEC - Invisible technology. Visible savings. Immediate impact.

INTRODUCTION - Redefining Engine Efficiency at Sea

Fuel costs are rising. Emission regulations are tightening. And every unplanned overhaul is a logistical and financial setback.
That’s where WEARTEC comes in.

WEARTEC is a nano-engineered surface treatment that rebuilds metal surfaces from within, reducing friction, wear, fuel and oil consumption - all without effecting your existing lubrication system.

From cargo ships, chemical tankers, container ships to coastal ferries, WEARTEC turns sustainability into measurable performance gains.
One application. Lower emissions. Longer service life. Higher fleet ROI.
Scientifically and Field-tested. Engineered in Germany.

KEY APPLICATION AREAS IN THE MARITIME SECTOR

“Anywhere oil circulates, WEARTEC delivers value.”
Main application zones:
  • Main engines (2-stroke & 4-stroke)
  • Auxiliary engine
  • Winch, crane, rudder, and main gearboxes
  • Azimuth thrusters, hydraulic drives
  • Compressors, pumps, fans, ventilation systems
  • Stern tube bearings, purifiers & separators
No mechanical modifications required – integrates seamlessly into existing lube oil systems.

● Quieter, cleaner, optimum engine operation
● Enables long-term ESG strategies and green compliance

TECHNOLOGY – HOW IT WORKS

The WEARTEC surface application treatment is delivered through a compatible lubricant, such as oil or grease, into an engine, gearbox, or bearing. As the lubricant circulates, it transports the treatment to the loaded surfaces. Activated by temperature and friction energy, the concentrate bonds with the surface, filling microscopic valleys and creating a uniform contact pattern. This process reduces surface roughness, minimizes wear, and enhances overall component longevity.

What happens:

Surface Treatment Refinement via Lubricant
WEARTEC uses a nano-microparticle concentrate that’s mixed into your existing oil or grease. Once in operation, heat and friction activate the concentrate:
● Microscopic surface valleys are filled
● Tribofilm layer forms and smooths surface peaks
● Friction and wear drop significantly
● Metal surfaces are reconditioned from within
● Treatment bonds physically and chemically - it does not stay in the oil
● Lubricant properties remain unaffected


No hardware modifications. Just add to the lubricant, run the component, and let the transformation happen.
