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.

glass
A hugely successful global industrial manufacturer of glass products specialising in float glass, fabricated glass and fibreglass insulation has recently made the switch to ANDEROL’s high performing 555 synthetic lubricant for their vacuum pumps.
storage
The most common cause of damage to lubricants is careless handling and storage resulting in damaged containers, moisture condensation, exposure to dust, dirt and extreme temperatures. Lubricating oils and greases that are not handled and stored correctly can quickly deteriorate or become contaminated. This in turn impacts shelf life, overall effectiveness and equipment reliability.
