grease vs oil
In general, we tend to see an oil being used rather than a grease for industrial equipment lubrication, but both can be used and the oil versus grease debate is an ongoing one.
2021
As we put the challenges of 2020 behind us, we hope that 2021 will be a better year for everyone.

2021
As we approach Christmas and the end of the year (how time flies when you’re having fun and weathering a pandemic!) we take a moment to look back on the events of 2020.
lubricant in cold weather
As we head towards Winter in the Northern Hemisphere now is a good time to start thinking about how best to lubricate your equipment in low temperatures to ensure optimal performance. The cold weather, particularly freezing temperatures, can impact the effectiveness of your lubricants and cause equipment to fail. Equipment always performs better when properly lubricated so making sure you use the right lubricant that performs in low temperatures is critical.

lubrication efficiency
In these unprecedented times of uncertainty and challenges, the need to create efficiencies by improving business processes that eliminate waste has never been more vital. Lubrication is one of these processes and we recommend applying the Japanese-based “5S” set of principles, regarded as the foundation of any process excellence activity. Here we explain how to apply 5S strategy to your lubrication program and the benefits of switching to synthetic based products to maximize efficiency.
grease water
Lubricants absorb water to different degrees depending on the lubricant type and as most oils have low resistance to water absorption, greases are usually applied where conditions are humid or watery and good water resistance is required.
Tecsia
Tecsia Lubricants has been a specialized ANDEROL partner since 1977 and today is the largest distributor of ANDEROL’s products across South East Asia, covering Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and The Philippines.
over greasing
You’ve found the right lubricant for your equipment, but are you using the right amount? Both under greasing and over greasing can cause detrimental damage to your equipment.
food production
Food grade lubricants are used during the production of food as well as food packaging (where there is direct product contact), tobacco products and animal feed. In the same way as any other lubricant they are used to protect against friction, wear, corrosion, heat and deposits and for the transmission of power. Food grade lubricants must comply with safe food regulations and be registered by the USA based NSF (National Sanitation Foundation). Products that are approved by the NSF as lubricants and release agents for the food industry are assigned to specific product codes (H1, H2, H3, HT1 and 3H) depending on their use. Understanding these different food grade lubrication classifications helps ensure optimal safety and compliance.
