Lubricant & grease formulation
consultancy for Nigeria manufacturers.
Independent lubricant, grease and additive formulation R&D for Nigerian blenders, brands and industrial buyers — API/ACEA-grade products with import-substitution economics and full IP transfer.
Independent formulation R&D,
engineered for Nigeria.
Nigeria is Africa’s largest lubricant market, with strong automotive, oil & gas and industrial demand largely met by imports. Lubechem helps Nigerian blenders formulate API/ACEA-grade engine oils, greases and hydraulic fluids domestically at lower cost, with SON (Standards Organisation of Nigeria) documentation guidance.
- 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 Nigeria clients.
Built to the standards
Nigeria buyers require.
We formulate to international API and ACEA standards and provide SON conformity documentation guidance for the Nigerian market. 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
- SON (Nigeria) conformity
- High-ambient formulations
Lubricants for the sectors
that drive Nigeria.
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 Nigeria 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
