"METALON PRODUCTS, a Division of Professional Products of Canada Inc., was founded by Mr. Richard Distefano on January 10, 1982. Mr. Distefano’s mission was to develop, produce and deliver the most effective Anti-wear Friction Fighters on the market, for use in ferrous and non-ferrous metal lubrication environments. A licensed aircraft mechanic, Mr. Distefano’s background in mechanical and chemical engineering were coupled with an insatiable thirst for knowledge and problem solving. He invested many years into researching and developing a superior line of products to address the issues of heat, friction and wear between mating metal parts. His goal was to create products that did not rely on viscosity, but rather a “mono-molecular wear resistant shield in a solid free liquid formula”. Thus, the METALON family of products was born. METALON PRODUCTS are manufactured, packaged and shipped from our plant in Burlington, Ontario, Canada."

"Renite Company, located in Columbus, Ohio, has long specialized in high temperature industrial lubricants, such as mold-release and die-release agents, for the hot-forming glass and hot-working metal industries. These fields present a challenge to lubricants, as most oil-based lubricants will burn away and be ineffective in these very high temperature applications. Renite Company provides these lubricants, and service, to customers in these industries throughout the US and internationally. Renite, long a leader in these lubrication areas, has included solid lubricants, such as graphite, to create solid lubricating films on the hot mold and die surfaces. In Renite lubricants, both water-based and oil-based, the liquid merely serves to act as a vehicle or carrier to help deposit the solid lubricants onto the hot surface. With regard to the hot forming glass industry, Renite products include swabbing lubricants such as those for mold release in the container manufacturing applications, as well as sprayable products for tableware and other pressware applications. Furthermore, Renite produces various lubricants for all stages in which the glass requires lubrication, from shears to lehrs."

Steel Shield Technologies sets itself apart from others by implementing Advanced Boundary Film Technology (ABF) on metal surfaces to reduce friction, heat and wear, providing the ultimate protection against abrasive metal-to-metal wear in the most challenging environments. Steel Shield Technologies’ mechanism of operation is based upon advanced methods of Tribology that improve lubricity and load carrying capacity. This, in turn, improves surface characteristics while simultaneously creating a stable chemical Advanced Boundary Film (ABF) on the contacting metal surfaces of whatever equipment to which it is added, or application it is used. It is our conviction that to be the best is not sufficient, for that is only a comparison to the standards of others. Steel Shield Technologies sole purpose is to manufacture premier quality metal treatments, additives and greases that have been tested to exceed the normal parameters of extreme pressure anti-wear oils and lubricants, thereby offering matchless performance and unsurpassed protection against wear while saving maintenance costs, delays, downtime, fuel consumption and improving all-around functional reliability through Advanced Boundary Film Technology.
