Cylinder heads, pistons and other integral parts
can be wiped clean with only a soft dry cloth
instead of requiring solvents and heavy abrasives.
How does UNICAT4 reduce my maintenance costs?
UNICAT4 users benefit from reduced maintenance, increased engine life and an extended time between necessary engine overhauls.
UNICAT4 significantly facilitate equipment maintenance during all stages of the combustion process.
As a preburner conditioner the hydrocarbon carrier in UNICAT4 clean the fuel tanks, lines, and pumps.
Gumming on the injectors is reduced.
In the combustion chamber UNICAT4 minimize engine damage (caused by wear and localized heat buildup) by reducing deposits of substances like carbon and vanadium.
The significant improvement in engine condition with the use of UNICAT4 has an equally beneficial effect on engine life.

Piston crown from this Caterpillar 3406 engine
shows very little carbon encrustation on the rim
The center cylinder valve recess area above, clearly
shows the lack of carbon and residue build-up in
this Caterpillar D353 engine with 8200 hours
(UNICAT4
used for the last 2000 hours).
In the exhaust system, UNICAT4 virtually eliminates the corrosion and trumpeting on the valve stems and feet, and keeps the turbochargers and exhaust manifolds free of soot and harmful carbon buildup.

Equipment rarely needs replacement parts because it experiences as little as half the normal wear.
Less equipment down time is financially beneficial because reduced maintenance lowers costly labour and part replacement expenses.
