In which industries are industrial oils used?

Industrial oils are indispensable in almost all industries where mechanical equipment is used.

Here are just some of the key industries:

  • Metalworking. On machine tools, presses, rolling mills – for lubrication, cooling, corrosion protection and chip removal.
  • Energy. In turbines (steam, gas, hydro), generators, transformers – for lubrication, cooling, insulation and corrosion prevention.
  • Mechanical engineering. In hydraulic systems of presses, excavators, lifting mechanisms, as well as for lubrication of gearboxes and bearings.
  • Food industry. Special edible oils that comply with strict sanitary standards are used to lubricate equipment in contact with food.
  • Chemical industry. For lubrication of pumps, compressors, reactors operating in aggressive environments.
  • Oil and gas industry. In drilling rigs, pumps, compressors, hydraulic systems.
  • Forestry and woodworking industry. For chainsaw chain lubrication, machine tools, and woodworking equipment.
  • Railway transport, ships, construction equipment.
