Lubricant & grease formulation
consultancy for Australia manufacturers.
Independent lubricant, grease and additive formulation R&D for Australian and NZ blenders, brands and industrial buyers — API/ACEA and mining-grade products, with full IP transfer.
Independent formulation R&D,
engineered for Australia.
Australia’s lubricant demand is led by mining, agriculture, transport and marine across vast, remote operations. Lubechem develops mining and heavy-equipment lubricants, agricultural (UTTO/STOU) fluids, API/ACEA engine oils and biodegradable lubricants engineered for demanding remote and offshore duty.
- Founded 2010 by Er. Manoj Kumar, chemical engineer — 500+ formulations
- Fully independent of Lubrizol, Afton, Infineum & Oronite
- Full BOM, ASTM/IP test data & IP transfer — you own the formula
- Remote-first delivery worldwide, on-site where needed
Nine services across the
lubricant lifecycle.
From a single formula to a commissioned plant — every service available to Australia clients.
Built to the standards
Australia buyers require.
We formulate to international API and ACEA standards, develop mining-grade and biodegradable (EAL) products, and design for remote and offshore duty. We lead with international standards so your products are accepted across markets — and support the documentation your buyers and regulators expect.
- API SN/SP, CK-4
- ACEA sequences
- ISO VG, NLGI grades
- Biodegradable (EAL / ISO 15380)
- Mining & agricultural grades
Lubricants for the sectors
that drive Australia.
From brief to commercial batch
in four disciplined steps.
Brief & baseline
NDA, target spec locked, cost targets agreed.
R&D & bench batch
Lab formulation and ASTM/IP testing against target.
Scale-up & pilot
Pilot batch, process SOP, full documentation.
Handover & support
Full BOM, TDS/MSDS and IP transfer — you own it.
An independent R&D partner
— not an additive reseller.
When an additive company offers “formulation support”, it is limited to its own range. Lubechem designs from individual components across multiple suppliers, so Australia clients get the right formulation at minimum cost — and own it independently.
- Chemistry-first, hands-on senior formulator access
- 10–25% lower additive treat cost vs commercial packages
- Full formula transparency — you own the IP
- Also: bio-lubricants & EV / specialty fluids
