Shorly after college, Mr.
John Bishop moved to New Orleans, La., where he went to work in the
oil industry. In 1962, he resigned from his mid-management position
with a major company and founded Allied Specialty Chemical Company
and began to manufacture and market specialty chemicals to the oil
and related service industries.
In 1968, he sold his Company and began to research metallurgical
fact he discovered while doing a research project for one of his
major customers. What got his attention was the statement made by
metallurgical experts, that " 95% of all mechanical failure is
directly related to friction and friction related heat"
Subsequently, after several years of research, he was able to
perfect and develop a proprietary lubrication and metal treating
concept, known as Permafused Lubrication (PfL)TM. All types of
industry and millions of individuals from around the world have
benefited from using his unique products over the past twenty plus
years. In 1975, he and his family moved to Texas and established a
manufacturing facility. He then began to market his products to and
through the retail automotive after-market, he decided to establish
separate marketing company aimed and marketing directly to
individual customers.
In 1978, after spending more than a year looking for qualified
management for the new marketing company, Mr. Bishop founded and
retained a 25% interest in Petrolon, Inc. Petrolon purchased, on a
OEM basis, a few products from his solely-owned manufacturing
company, top market direct to the customer, via a multi-level
marketing concept, under the trade name Slick-50 TM and Tef-Coat 2
TM. To help sell the concept of this new product going to customers,
Teflon was added only to help sell the concept. However, it opened
Pandora´s box. His partners, believing thet this (teflon) was the "secret
ingredient", decided to go on and market this new product under the
same "Slick-50" label, after a back injury stopped Mr. Bishop from
being able to work for nearly two years. Unfortunately, this new
product, being Teflon based, had severe
detrimentall effects on
engines as well as other working parts it was placed in. Therefore,
Mr. Bishop terminated his relationship and discontinued supplying
products to Petrolo in 1984.
