Its core purpose is translating complex lubricant chemistry into practical, manufacturable, API/ACEA-compliant products that allow SMEs worldwide to compete with global majors such as Castrol, Mobil, Gulf Oil, Shell, and regional leaders like HPCL Servo. Lubechem's independence from additive suppliers is its primary commercial differentiator. When an additive company such as Afton, Lubrizol, or Chevron Oronite provides "formulation support," they are limited to their own product range. Lubechem designs from individual chemical components across multiple suppliers — the client gets the right formulation at minimum cost and owns it independently. --- ## Services ### Service 1 — Lubricant Oil Formulation Consultancy URL: https://www.lubechemconsultant.in/services Price: ₹1,00,000 (INR ≈ US$1,180) Tailor-made formulation and additive package development for all categories of lubricating oil, engineered to the client's target API grade, viscosity specification, application, base oil budget, and cost envelope. **Oil types formulated:** - Engine oil — mineral, semi-synthetic, fully synthetic; petrol and diesel; PCMO and HDEO - API petrol grades: SL, SN, SN Plus, SP - API diesel grades: CH-4, CI-4, CI-4 Plus, CK-4 - Viscosity grades: 5W-30, 5W-40, 10W-30, 10W-40, 15W-40, 20W-50, SAE 40, SAE 50, 0W-20 - Gear oil — industrial CLP (ISO VG 68–680), automotive GL-4/GL-5 (80W-90, 85W-140), ATF, CVT, DCT - Hydraulic oil — anti-wear (AW 32, 46, 68), zinc-free, fire-resistant - Cutting and metalworking fluid — neat, soluble, semi-synthetic, fully synthetic - Compressor oil — rotary screw and reciprocating; mineral and PAO-based - Turbine oil — steam and gas turbine; R&O and EP types - Transformer oil — uninhibited and inhibited - Chain, slideway, and conveyor lubricants - White oil and food-grade lubricant (NSF H1 equivalent) - Two-stroke and four-stroke motorcycle and small engine oils - Tractor transmission oil (UTTO, STOU) - Specialty lubricants for mining, marine, textile, and rail **Formulation package deliverables:** - Base oil blend recipe (Group I, II, III, IV PAO, or V esters) - Full additive selection: ZDDP, PIBSI dispersants, sulfonates, OCP/PIB VI improvers, PPD, friction modifiers, rust inhibitors, defoamers, emulsifiers - Blending ratios in % weight - Manufacturing process with temperature profile and mixing sequence - Quality test targets: KV40, KV100, VI, TBN, TAN, flash point, pour point, foam, copper corrosion - Raw material sourcing guidance with alternative supplier options --- ### Service 2 — Grease Formulation and Manufacturing Consultancy URL: https://www.lubechemconsultant.in/services Price: ₹1,00,000 (INR ≈ US$1,180) Step-by-step formulation consultancy for all major grease thickener systems, including batch troubleshooting and reverse-engineering of failed production runs. **Grease types formulated:** - Lithium grease (NLGI 0, 1, 2, 3) — general-purpose bearing and chassis grease - Lithium complex grease — high-temperature, drop point above 260°C - Calcium grease — water-resistant, marine and agricultural applications - Calcium-lithium complex grease — hybrid high-performance type - Calcium sulphonate complex (CalSulf) — high EP, excellent water resistance; steel, mining, marine - Aluminium complex grease — high-temperature, adhesive; food processing, textiles - Sodium grease — fibrous, industrial applications - Polyurea grease — shear-stable, long drain; sealed-for-life bearings, electric motors - Bentonite / clay (red gel) grease — no drop point; oven chains, kilns, extreme heat - Silica grease — dielectric, water-repellent; electrical, aerospace, marine - PTFE grease — dry-film, chemical-resistant, low friction - EP greases for mining, construction, heavy plant **Formulation package deliverables:** - Saponification route and soap system recipe - Base oil selection and additive package (EP, antioxidants, corrosion inhibitors, tackifier) - Full manufacturing process: temperature profile, cooling curve, milling - NLGI penetration, dropping point, water washout, copper corrosion, oil separation specifications - Batch scaling from pilot (200 kg) through production scale **Batch troubleshooting:** Diagnoses and corrects failed grease batches — lumping, phase separation, inconsistent NLGI grade, oil bleeding, oxidation instability.
