Lots of folk will swear by just about anything, so I wouldn't take
that as a recommendation. Has it been tested under INDEPENDENT
laboratory conditions? Such "swearing by" is the reason that English
cars (those designed in England) survived so much longer than they
deserved to.

Catalysts initiate chemical reactions, without themselves being in
any way involved in the reaction. They don't affect heat-transfer,
which is not a chemical but a physival process (of course chemical
reactions are also physical, but...).

I think this stuff will be yet another brand of oel de serpente.
