Food Grade Lubricants & Greases
Matrix Specialty Lubricants understands the importance of food safety and crucial role lubricants play in maintaining it. That is why Matrix Lubricants receive price of being one of the leading European suppliers of Food Grade Lubricants.
Their range of products is specially designed to meet the demanding requirements of the food processing industry, ensuring that your equipment runs smoothly while protecting your products from lubricant contamination. These lubricants are not only effective but also exceed the performance expectations of typical industrial lubricants.
In addition to their existing extensive portfolio of food grade lubricants, we continue to develop and add new products to better serve their customers. The company is dedicated to providing lubricants that meet the stringent requirements and protocols of the food processing industry, including NSF H1 certification for food contact. This ensures that the lubricants used in food processing plants are safe and will not contaminate raw materials, work-in-progress, or finished products.
Greases
Greases are lubricants that are formed by blending a liquid lubricant with a thickening agent. The properties of the grease depend on the type of thickener used, the base oil, and the additive technology. At Matrix Specialty Lubricants, we utilize a wide range of components in the production of greases, resulting in an extensive range of greases suitable for various applications.
Compressor & Vacuum Pump Fluids
Matrix Specialty Lubricants is a provider of high-quality lubricants for a variety of applications, including compressors and vacuum pumps. These fluids are designed to meet the needs of various industries and are suitable for a range of different operating conditions, including extreme service intervals, high temperatures, high vacuum, and chemical resistance.
The company’s range of gas and refrigeration compressor fluids are designed to provide a combination of long life and low maintenance costs while maintaining high efficiency. These fluids are formulated with a range of high-quality base oils, including mineral and synthetic options, such as hydro-treated, PAO, POE, Alkyl Benzenes, Di-Ester, Ester, PAG, and PFPE. Each of these base oils has unique properties that make them well-suited for different applications and operating conditions.
Gear Lubricants
Gears and transmissions are used in all industries being an essential part of many production processes, reducing or increasing speed or torque. Gears are found between the primary drives (motors or engines) and the driven equipment such as conveyors, elevators, mills and screws.
Metalworking & Rust Preventatives
Metalworking fluids, also known as cutting fluids, are essential for many metalworking operations such as drilling, cutting, and grinding. These fluids provide lubrication, cooling, and corrosion protection to the tools and equipment used in these operations, as well as to the metal parts themselves. Using the correct fluid for a specific application is crucial for achieving optimal performance and prolonging the life of the tools and equipment.
