Lubricant & grease formulation
consultancy for Oceania manufacturers.
Independent lubricant, grease and additive formulation R&D for blenders and industrial buyers across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific — API/ACEA and mining-grade products, with full IP transfer.
Independent formulation R&D,
engineered for Oceania.
Oceania’s lubricant demand is dominated by mining, agriculture, marine and transport across Australia and New Zealand. Lubechem develops mining and heavy-equipment lubricants, agricultural (UTTO/STOU) fluids, marine oils and biodegradable lubricants to international standards, engineered for the region’s demanding remote and offshore conditions.
- 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
What Oceania clients
brief us on most.
Specific to Oceania (Australia, New Zealand & the Pacific) — not a generic worldwide boilerplate.
- Formulated to the standards listed below for Oceania buyers.
- Independent of Lubrizol, Afton, Infineum and Oronite single-source lock-in.
- Full BOM, ASTM/IP data and IP transfer — you own the formula.
- Remote-first delivery with on-site support when the project needs it.
Nine services across the
lubricant lifecycle.
From a single formula to a commissioned plant — every service available to Oceania clients.
Built to the standards
Oceania buyers require.
We formulate to international API and ACEA standards, develop mining-grade and biodegradable (EAL) products, and design for remote and offshore duty cycles. 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 Oceania.
Deep-dive industry formulation pages — not just labels.
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 Oceania 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
