Eco-friendly lubricants

The natural alternative

Lubricants and the environment don’t go together very well. However, outdoor machinery and applications that come into contact with water, do need lubrication too.

That’s why Interflon produces a range of environmentally friendly lubricants. They distinguish themselves from conventional oils and greases because they:

Lubricate better, reducing friction levels and the amount of lubricant required for servicing considerably Lubricate longer, so that lubrication is required less frequently Rapidly disintegrate in the event of inadvertent spillage, thanks to bacteria which are naturally present in the ground and in surface water Ecolabel certified Interflon products are practically harmless to animals, fish and waterborne organisms and represent a lower risk for water and soil and reduce CO2-emissions too.

Reduce your energy bill too

The environmentally friendly lubricants produced by Interflon consist of a large proportion of natural components combined with our innovative lubrication technology. As a result, they spare the environment whilst reducing friction in machinery to such that energy consumption could drop with as much as 15%, sometimes even more. Our Eco-friendly products, therefore, don’t merely reduce the burden on the environment directly, but they contribute to lower CO2 emissions and a reduction in your energy bill, too!

Are they really just as good?

Absolutely. They are better even. Environmentally friendly lubricants offer superior lubrication and adhesion to metal over mineral products, making them more versatile in application, too. Interflon products’ longevity and the reduced maintenance and energy costs they incur more than compensate their sometimes slightly higher price as compared to conventional lubricants.

Green Public Procurement (GPP)

The public authorities of all 27 EU meber states have agreed to procure goods, services and works with a reduced environmental impact throughout their life cycle when compared to goods, services and works with the same primary function that would otherwise be procured.

As a result, public organisations including city councils, departments of public works, districts of water boards and inland shipping as well as "green" and ISO14001 certified businesses increasingly choose for eco-friendly lubricants.

Ideal for outdoor machinery

Environmentally friendly lubricants are ideal for application in (mobile) machinery for public works, including forestry, hydraulic engineering, road construction, water-treatment, alpine, offshore, ports, sluice complexes and hydro-electric power stations, as well as dredging and railways, to name a few.
But manufacturing companies benefit from bio-degradable products, too, even if only by relieving the burden on water treatment plants and limiting eco-tax expenditure.
