Lubricant & grease formulation
consultancy for Singapore manufacturers.
Independent lubricant, grease and additive formulation R&D for Singapore and Southeast-Asian blenders, marine suppliers and industrial buyers — API/ACEA and marine-grade products, with full IP transfer.
Independent formulation R&D,
engineered for Singapore.
Singapore is the world’s largest bunkering port and a Southeast-Asian lubricant hub. Lubechem develops marine cylinder and system oils, tropical-climate hydraulic and gear oils, and biodegradable EAL fluids to international standards for Singapore and the wider ASEAN market.
- 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 Singapore clients
brief us on most.
Specific to Singapore and Southeast Asia — not a generic worldwide boilerplate.
- Marine cylinder / system oils and VGP EAL biodegradable grades.
- Tropical hydraulic and gear oils for ASEAN re-export blending.
- Palm-process and electronics-plant specialty fluids.
- API/ACEA packs engineered for Singapore bunkering + SEA distribution.
Nine services across the
lubricant lifecycle.
From a single formula to a commissioned plant — every service available to Singapore clients.
Built to the standards
Singapore buyers require.
We formulate to API and ACEA standards, develop marine and biodegradable (EAL/ISO 15380) grades, and design for tropical operating conditions. 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
- Marine (cylinder/system oil, VGP EAL)
- ISO 15380 biodegradable fluids
Lubricants for the sectors
that drive Singapore.
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 Singapore 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
