Conventional lubricants (mineral or synthetic based) can solve almost all problems encountered in the industry.
LUBRILOG focuses primarily in areas where the petroleum companies and manufacturers of conventional lubricants become ineffective. Our products are intended to answer the most demanding specifications of operating mechanisms, where friction is not the major problem because the following materials are involved :
- Plastics
- Glass
- Elastomers
- Ceramic
- Precious or rare metals …
Indeed, the rules of tribology and mechanics that apply to conventional materials become obsolete…
As such these new materials are not necessarily conductive anymore but they are also insulating and their elasticity, the hardness or surface state are very often completely different.
- Oxidation problems are replaced by ageing or chemical compatibility issues
- Old additives have been discarded in favour of new technologies that are not hazardous to the environment. Thus, gradually, derivatives of chlorine, phosphor, zinc, heavy metals are replaced by a new, less aggressive and cleaner chemistry
In order to comply with these new demands and avoid tiresome and necessarily costly tests, you can select directly very specific lubricants proposed by LUBRILOG by clicking in the section « extreme conditions lubricants ». The specific equipment for the application of these lubricants can also be found in this section, accuracy of application of the special lubricants is necessary to avoid waste.
If your equipment was designed and produced following the classic mechanical concept, please click on the « conventional lubricants » section. You will find there high performance lubricants (synthetic or mineral based) for a wide range of applications.
