XADO RED CAT SHIELD Catalytic Converter, Oxygen Sensor & Fuel System Cleaner for Gasoline Engines. Contains REVITALIZANT.
Strict environmental regulations have led vehicle manufacturers to equip gasoline engines with exhaust emission control systems (catalytic converters) designed to reduce harmful emissions. Today, virtually all modern gasoline vehicles are fitted with three-way catalytic converters (TWC).
A three-way catalytic converter converts the three primary harmful exhaust components—nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrocarbons (HC)—into less harmful substances such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water. It consists of a ceramic honeycomb substrate coated with precious metal catalysts, providing an effective catalytic surface area of up to approximately 20,000 m². The ceramic structure withstands temperatures of up to 800–850°C. Platinum and palladium promote the oxidation of CO and HC, while rhodium reduces NOx emissions.
The catalytic converter operates together with oxygen sensors (lambda sensors) in a closed-loop system that continuously regulates the air-fuel ratio to maintain optimum catalytic efficiency. Oxygen sensors are constantly exposed to high temperatures and chemically aggressive exhaust gases.
Over time, contamination can reduce the efficiency of both the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors. A clogged catalytic converter may result in poor throttle response, sluggish acceleration, reduced engine performance, and increased fuel consumption.
In addition, ceramic dust from a damaged catalytic converter may enter the combustion chamber and cause cylinder wall scoring.
To ensure reliable operation of both the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, use XADO RED CAT SHIELD.
XADO RED CAT SHIELD is a comprehensive fuel system cleaner designed to keep the fuel system clean while protecting the catalytic converter, even when using low-quality gasoline, ethanol-blended fuels, or alternative fuels.
The cleaner features:
XADO RED CAT SHIELD contains only the latest-generation additive technologies developed to ensure reliable operation of three-way catalytic converters. Its core technology, OXY8 BOOST BLEND, is a specially formulated combination of chemical compounds and oxygen carriers that improves fuel octane performance, reduces engine knocking, and decreases emissions of CO₂ and unburned hydrocarbons.
Benefits:
One 250 ml bottle treats 40–60 liters of gasoline.
Add the required amount to the fuel tank before refueling.
Continue normal vehicle operation.
Why does a catalytic converter become clogged?
The most common causes include:
Warning!Fuel additives containing tetraethyl lead or other lead-based octane boosters permanently deactivate the active catalytic surface. This dramatically reduces catalytic converter efficiency and can lead to failure of the entire emission control system.
