Lubricants for the sectors
that drive UK.
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 UK 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
