|
Klüber Lubrication provides special lubricants such as anti corrosion lubricants, heat resistant
lubricants and long endurance or lifetime lubricants. These special lubricants have significantly
higher durability and ability than usual ones.
Intelligent Lubrication to save costs
Our high-performance lubricants result in cost savings in standard applications by ensuring:
- Extended service life
- Reduced consumption
- Increased productivity
- Easy storage
- Product streamlining
- Improved process security
- Reliable operation
All You Need for Lubrication
Be it fluid or consistent lubricants, solid lubricants for dry lubrication, or food grade
lubricants for the food processing industry, and biodegradable lubricants for better environment,
we will always find the right solution for you. We offer you the perfect ‘tools’ to counteract friction,
energy loss, wear and corrosion in any possible application.
From series applications to customized lubricants
There will always be cases in which established solutions won’t get you any further.
If necessary, lubricants with new characteristics for your special application can be developed.

| Lubricants |
| Lubricants are divided into the following groups: gaseous, liquid, cohesive, and solid. Lubricants should not only
reduce friction and wear, but also dissipate heat, protect surfaces, conduct electricity, keep out foreign particles,
and remove wear particles. |
 |
Liquid lubricants
Lubricating oils
The importance of synthetic oils is constantly increasing, because it offers the following advantages:
higher oxidation stability, resistance to high and low temperatures, long-term and lifetime lubrication.
The success of our lubricating oil is based on just the right combination of its ingredients,
namely their base oil and additives.
Anticorrosion agents
Anticorrosion agents are special lubrication products suitable for all metallic materials, especially for
components made of ferrous metals such as bolts, springs, chains, bearings, etc. Corrosion protection films
can vary considerably in appearance: colored, colorless, transparent, oily, Vaseline-like or dry to the touch.

Cohesive lubricants
Lubricating greases.
This is a lubricant that stays at the friction point for a long, long time. Its characteristics are optimum drop point,
good oxidation resistance, resistance towards fluid and steam, good temperature stability. Klueber greases offer a lot
more: rapidly biodegradable, electro-conductive, and resistant to ambient media, high load-carrying capacity
Pastes
They are mainly applied under extreme conditions. Metal containing pastes withstand service temperatures as high as 1200°C.
Lubricating pastes consist of base oils, additives, and solid lubricant particles. They protect against tribo-corrosion,
stick slip, and adhesive wear.
Lubricating waxes
A ready to handle lubricant film, combined with good lubricity and excellent corrosion protection, facilitates clean and easy
operation and offers an invaluable advantage in the automatic assembly of mass-produced parts. Lubricating waxes consist of synthetic
hydrocarbons of high molecular weight and additives. |
 |
Solid lubricants
Tribo-system materials
This is a combination of lubricants and materials to form a single element which is self lubricating throughout its service life.
This incorporated lubrication is an excellent choice in many industrial applications, from medical to aerospace engineering.
Bonded coatings
These are industrial lacquers containing lubricant pigments, solid lubricants, binding agents and solvents. Bonded coatings are
known for their extremely wide service temperature range (-180C to 450C). They can be used for general applications in mechanical
engineering and elastomers.
Solid lubricants also include synthetic, metallic or mineral powders. Solid lubricants are mainly used when the application of
liquid or cohesive lubricants is not ideal for functional reasons or risk of contamination. |

| Specific Industrial Applications |
 |
Automotive Industry
Special lubricants made by Klueber are strong and powerful. Any moving part in a car can be optimized
from a friction point of view, be it axles, brakes, steering system, gears, electric systems, locks, seats,
safety belts, seals, etc.
Glass
Resistance to high temperatures, minimal residue formation, long relubrication intervals, these are the requirements
made of lubricants in the glass industry. We offer a range of special lubricants suited to the specific applications of this
demanding field – take out tongs, mould holders, gob distributors, neck rings, bearings.
Wood Processing Industry
The requirements of lubricants in the wood industry are resistance to high temperatures, low evaporation, and long
relubrication intervals.. We offer a range of special lubricants that are optimally suited to the specific applications of this
field: steel belts, chains, bearings, gears, and sliding elements.
Food Processing and Pharmaceuticals
The quality of food grade lubricants should never be of doubt. Our lubricants comply with FDA regulations. With less than 100
colony-forming units per gram, our quality products are 1000 times lower in germs than stipulated in food regulations.
We even guarantee that lubricants only reach the spots they are intended for, there is never a question of contamination.
Marine
Water and corrosive salty water is a challenge for our lubricants. Whether onshore or offshore, ships fittings,
harbour crane or oil rig, we deliver the ideal maritime lubricant.
Metal Forming
Forming soft metal to the highest accuracy calls for lubricants of the highest quality. Our lubrication concept
combines increased performance with minimal quality lubrication tallying with the highest environmental demands.
Textile Industry
Our highly specialized lubricants are used in many applications where friction points are subject to different loads and
ambient conditions, for example in spooling, twisting, winding, knitting, sizing, weaving, and hosiery machines. Our lubricants
are very efficient over a particularly long period of time, extending the maintenance cycle period.
Corrugator Industry
We offer a range of lubricants suited for the corrugator industry: rotating unions, disc knives, bearings, open gears, and drives.
Cement Industry
Many cement industry equipment manufacturers recommend expert lubrication with Klueber special lubricants. |
