Lubricant technology marks

Official TOTACHI technology marks identify selected lubricant and component platforms across the manufacturer’s portfolio.

ZFM™

ZFM™ (Zero Friction Molecular Technology) uses a molybdenum polysulfide alkyl dithiourea complex (MoDTC) whose radicals improve adhesion to metal surfaces, helping to reduce friction and wear.

ZFM+™

ZFM+™ uses a modern trinuclear-molybdenum MoDTC friction modifier. Effective at only 50–100 ppm, it forms a strong oil film under high temperature and high shear.

ECO

ECO combines low-viscosity base oils, a modern low-ash additive package and anti-friction protection to support fuel economy, lower exhaust toxicity and compatibility with emissions systems.

Technology in detail

Explore the materials and operating principles behind TOTACHI lubricants, filters and batteries.

ZFM™

ZFM uses molybdenum-based friction modifiers. Their interaction with metal surfaces helps reduce friction and wear under demanding operating conditions.

ZFM+™

ZFM+ uses trinuclear molybdenum. A polar molecular head adheres to metal, while an oil-compatible chain supports film stability at high temperatures and shear rates.

ECO

ECO combines low-viscosity base oils with low-ash additive systems to support fuel economy and compatibility with exhaust aftertreatment. The applicable viscosity and performance level remain product-specific.

Targeted Filtration Technology

Synthetic fibres and impregnation help control the filter medium’s pore structure. Filtration fineness, dirt-holding capacity and flow resistance are key design parameters. Select the filter for the specific application.

Expanded Metal Ca/Ca

Calcium-alloy lead grids are used for both electrodes. Continuous casting and expanded-metal processing form the grid structure; calcium technology supports low water loss and low self-discharge.

PUNCH

Stamping produces a defined battery-grid geometry. The grid’s surface and structure support active-material adhesion, mechanical strength and electrical conductivity.

AGM

Absorbent glass mats hold the electrolyte between compressed plates. This construction supports low internal resistance and vibration resistance. Battery selection must also match the vehicle’s charging system and installation requirements.
