Lubricant & grease formulation
consultancy for USA manufacturers.
Independent lubricant, grease and additive formulation R&D for US blenders, private-label brands and industrial buyers — API, SAE, ILSAC and NLGI-grade products, with full formulation IP transferred to you.
Independent formulation R&D,
engineered for USA.
US manufacturers compete on API/ILSAC licensing, fuel-economy grades and supply-chain independence from the major additive houses. Lubechem designs API SP / ILSAC GF-6 engine oils, ASTM-tested industrial fluids and NLGI greases from individual components — so you own the formula and control cost.
- 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 USA clients.
Built to the standards
USA buyers require.
We formulate to API, SAE and ILSAC targets, validate against ASTM/IP methods, and support NSF H1 registration for food-grade lines. We lead with international standards so your products are accepted across markets — and support the documentation your buyers and regulators expect.
- API SP, CK-4, FA-4
- ILSAC GF-6A/6B, SAE J300
- ASTM / IP test methods
- NLGI & NSF H1 (HX-1)
- ACEA (for import/export ranges)
Lubricants for the sectors
that drive USA.
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 USA 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
