“GREASE BAD GUYS, NOT GUNS” - FAILZERO INTRODUCES WORLD’S FIRST GREASELESS UPGRADES FOR TACTICAL FIREARMS.
FailZero, a brand of UCT Arms, LLC, is producing the world’s first lube-free upgrades for AR-15 tactical rifles and 1911 pistols. As seen at the 2009 SHOT Show, these upgrades deliver an “active-weapon advantage” in critical situations by eliminating wet-lubrication component failure and ensuring optimum performance in all conditions.
FailZero upgrade parts use breakthrough EXO Technology: a unique, patented treatment that creates permanent dry lubricity on metal surfaces, eliminating the need for grease or oil for the life of the part.
Extensive testing by UCT, the Department of Defense, and other agencies reveal – and real-world use confirms -- that firearms equipped with FailZero upgrades perform dramatically cleaner, wear far longer, and require less maintenance than those with traditional wet-lube parts.
FailZero upgrades are in active use by law enforcement departments, security agencies, in SWAT and military applications, by U.S. troops in battlefield conditions, and by civilian shooting enthusiasts, trainers, gunsmiths and refurbishers nation-wide.
FailZero upgrade kits are currently available for AR-15 rifles and 1911 pistols, with additional products to be announced soon. The AR-15 Basic Kit includes bolt, carrier and hammer. The AR-15 Extreme Duty Kit includes the upper receiver and charging handle in addition to bolt, carrier and hammer. The 1911 Upgrade Kit includes slide, receiver, trigger assembly, hammer and disconnector.
All FailZero parts are mil-spec quality and will properly fit AR/M4 rifles and 1911 pistols made by BushMaster, Springfield Armory, Colt, DPMS, Double Star, Stag, Kimber and others.
Based on successful testing, demonstration and use with military departments, law enforcement agencies and commercial firearms manufacturers, FailZero expects lubrication-free weapons to become the standard for the future.
UCT Arms LLC introduced the firearms industry to EXO Technology at the 2009 SHOT Show, January 15-18, 2009. EXO-treated FailZero tactical weapons upgrades ensure optimum performance by eliminating wet lubrication – and wet-lube failures -- from critical firearm parts. The patented EXO process makes metal parts permanently lubricious, giving manufacturers, refurbishers and gunsmiths the ability to make firearms perform dramatically cleaner and longer with less maintenance than their wet-lubed counterparts. Firearms OEMs are rapidly adopting EXO as the treatment of choice for long wear and lubrication-free operation.
But exclusive EXO Technology has applications far beyond the firearms industry.
EXO Technology creates a competitive advantage for all kinds of industries, because treated parts run dramatically longer and more accurately with less maintenance. Further, EXO greatly enhances heat dissipation, so treated products run far cooler than non-treated parts.
The EXO process is permanent, lasting for the entire lifespan of treated parts. A patented, nodular nickel-boron (NiB) surface treatment, EXO nucleates on the surface atoms of metals, becoming part of the metal rather than merely applied to the outside. In addition, the treated surface becomes harder than the substrate itself, eliminating the cost, weight and degradation problems of conventional hardened metals.
The benefits of EXO Technology to manufacturers include:
• Replaces multiple coatings with one process, streamlining manufacturing
• Provides total coverage and may not require final matching
• Lower environmental compliance costs than hard chrome, anodizing and parkerizing
• Not an exotic material or process
• Repeatable, scalable, transferable technology
• Can be applied to steel, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys
EXO Technology is featured in firearms, weapons and support systems used by the U.S. military and law enforcement and security agencies; for engine, powertrain, propulsion and wear components in the automotive, aerospace and maritime industries; in industrial pumping, mining and drilling applications; in food processing applications; and in the forestry industry to reduce saw friction and resin sticking, improving blade life and cut quality. EXO Technology is appropriate for virtually any application where reduced friction, extended service life, enhanced performance and lower maintenance are desirable.
