Value packs from Lubrication Engineers
Second Quarter 2020
Other technologies
Lubrication Engineers (LE) is making its industry leading products available in value packs designed to meet all the lubrication needs of everyday users. “We are bundling smaller sizes of our product offerings for our customers, so they have everything they need to meet their specific lubrication requirements without having to purchase industrial-sized containers,” says national marketing manager, Callum Ford. He says customers will also be able to customise the value packs, depending on their lubrication needs. They include:
• Monolec Ultra engine oil that provides exceptional extended-drain service for diesel engines in mobile equipment and generators, all-weather performance and outstanding wear protection.
• Wirelife Monolec penetration solution that deals with rust in marine wire applications. It has excellent corrosion resistance and high load carrying properties. It penetrates to the core of wire ropes and is also excellent as a penetrating lubricant for chains.
• Wirelife Almasol coating solution that provides a tough outer coating to seal and protect against fretting corrosion, wear and rust, even under extreme load and moisture.
• Almatek general purpose lubricant that increases uptime and reduces maintenance and lubrication costs.
• An environmentally safe and cost-effective bioremediation process, OSE II, for the mitigation of hazardous waste, spills and contamination. It is ideal for oil spills or oil cleaning.
• Full Torque diesel fuel improver, a cetane boosted formulation that increases power, improves fuel economy, reduces emissions and provides smoother performance in any diesel engine.
