The metal in a machine is nearly always positively charged while Friction Reducer is negatively charged. Attachment of a thin layer of Friction Reducer to all metals is natural and not dependent upon temperature, pressure or anything else; except that there must be oil circulation to establish a layer of Friction Reducer on the metal. Friction Reducer has absolutely no effect on the metal itself.
Most esters are polar as most of the BITOG members know.

It is not an extreme pressure agent, so it will not corrode the surface of metal as do chlorinated or sulfurized oil additives.
Ever heard of buffers and metal deactivators/inhibitors?
If TMP decanoate is not an EP agent then why not just state that it acts as an Anti-Wear (AW) agent? If not an AW agent then just say it is a friction reducer. More unnecessary verbiage and fluff.

It is not a polymer additive so it will not artificially thicken oil.
Not all polymers or polymer esters will thicken an oil. Ever heard of the Kentjenlube polymers?

Friction Reducer is a pure ester, which has much greater lubricity than oil. It is so effective in reducing friction because it creates a carpet of ester on all of the metal surfaces, preventing metal to metal contact.
What happens when you dilute the AW additives in commercially formulated motor oil; does Friction Reducer have a supplemental AW additive to make up for this deficiency?

It can be said that esters slide upon themselves much more freely than oils do.
Anything can be said, but where are the SAE journal or tribology papers that support this statement?
Quote:
When a sufficient amount of esters are added to oil, the result is that the oil becomes as slippery as esters themselves.
A lubricant containing 100% ester becomes a 100% ester lube, but you need an additive package with a whole host of chemistries to supplement any base lube.

The unique film provided by the negative polarity of the Friction Reducer attached to positively charged metals is the secret to all of Friction Reducer benefits over older ester technology.
So are you saying that there is a net equilibrium of charges at the surface?

Hot Shot’s Secret Friction Reducer also increases fluid flow in power steering and hydraulic systems, like those found in old tractors and construction equipment. Friction Reducer is great for keeping everything running smoothly, efficiently, and up to government standards!
How does it increase fluid flow and what government standards are being met?
