    Hi! every one. 

    I have been asked to write this info on what is Brownpolymer but it
    should be called tan. 

    about 13 yrs ago My new girl friend and I got this idea to be a
    crafter at a ren fair. most all the trades had been taken so I 
thought
    I would do metal spinning. I could not do it period. the metal galled
    to the forming bar, So I looked for a better lubricate. Research old
    books from the 14 century I found a formula for a compound but the
    change over from old English in the conversion I goofed and used
    different compounds then what was stated. It created Brownpolymer but
    was different. It was hard not soft like it is now, but I was able to
    Spin copper And Aluminum. 

    Now I had to do clean up. I used my girl friends blender to mix the
    compound and when I went to clean it up I found it would not wash
    out with any solvent that I had. Even water had no effect. The parts
    I made I was unable to clear paint as I could not removes this stuff.
    The only people I found it to like it was where a rubbing action or
    bearing surface needed a lube. 

    in 2004 A friend ask me to do a car show for him with 2 weeks to
    prepare. I made some of this compound and put it in tins named old
    timer Grease. The first 5 minutes I sold out to people that was using
    on their polished parts on there motors. What they liked was that
    Gasoline had no effect on the aluminum and it kept it shine. 

    Then I went to S.U. in Syracuse and it was tested with as many
    solvents that we thought would liquefy it. that's when it was found 
to
    be a polymer and was not in any books for the compound that I used.
    So I asked what to call it and there responds was call it anything
    you want. So my name is Brown and its a polymer so Brownpolymer was
    started. Further testing by University of New Mexico did test and
    found that the grease or polymer was equal to the best grease made 
and
    the compound where safe, But they requested that I get further
    testing and certification for the bearing market. which was about
    55,000 dollars. Then we had a marine biologists he put some on a
    block of steel and placed it in our Lake Ontario which is full of
    Zebra mussel that can stick to anything you don't want. For 9 months
    they didn't cling to it which worried me. So I found a toxicity lab
    and we did a test and found it was not Toxic is was they could not
    adhere to the surface. 

    Further testing I found that turpentine dissolved the compound and
    it was able to remove it from a surface and conventional cleaner
    would remove the turpentine. 

    So we been giving the polymer to different testers of different uses
    and needs the results aRe: 

    We found that we put on silver conches on saddles it didn't tarnish
    after one year of application with daily use on the horse. 

    Turning Tool steel with, To high of speed and slight dull bit was
    applied to the turning. Chips went from red-blue to white and no
    tearing, smooth cuts. We found easy to tap, saw cutting, burring and
    punching. For drilling or machining gold or silver it has been found
    to be the best found. 

    testing on bare steel with salt water in the air 2 weeks the steel
    didn't rust. it's been tested on silver, Copper, Brass, Aluminum with
    no sign of tarnishing 

    We tested on brass and was put in a tank of solution to bright
    brass, to remove the scale on the brass with no effect the brass
    didn't change color. 

    We polished aluminum and coated with the polymer and poured battery
    acid on the aluminum with no effect. The acid just puddled and ran
    off. 

    We found That I could be put on ceramic, tile, glass, and porcelain
    that soap scum would not stay on or build up 

    We found that lock smiths its a great lube for the bolts on safes
    with out sticking or gumming up the tumblers. 

    We found that when rubbed on a surface it will clean and remove
    tarnish and leaves a corrosion preventing film. 

    This Product we found is
    Its a cleaner
    Its a polish
    Its a Lube
    Its a Grease
    Its a tarnish Prevention

    One of the Professor described the way the polymer works. That the
    platelets of carbon when rubbed lay down and forms a shield. that
    repels water and dirt. We found that the polymer has the same
    Ionization as water and dirt has. So it repels just like two magnets
    do. It does stop air but water doesn't like to be near it.
