Dosing systems and application support
Base oils, additives and pigments
Synthetic Ester
Base oil with good sliding properties, high metal compatibility and good load capacity (-70 to 170 °C).
Polyglycol
Base oil with good load capacity and residue-free combustion (-40 to 130 °C).
Polyalphaolefins (PAO)
Stable base oil, compatible with many plastics and elastomers (-60 to 170 °C).
Perfluoropolyether (PFPE)
Extremely stable, non-flammable base oil with high compatibility for aggressive environments (-90 to 280 °C).
Silicones
Stable base oil, predominantly for plastic/plastic applications (-70 to 250 °C).
Mineral oil
Base oil for universal bearing and gear lubricants in mechanical engineering.
PAG (Polyalkylene glycol)
Basis for synthetic greases with long service life, e.g. in gearboxes.
PTFE (solid additive)
Solid additive for lubricating greases to minimize friction and wear.
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)
Additive in Ferex+3 for increased releasing power, corrosion protection and lubrication properties.
Graphite
Additive in Ferex+3 for a resilient sliding film.
Inorganic pigments
Iron oxides, ultramarine, green pigments, manganese violet and iron blue for cosmetic products such as powders, make-up and eyeshadow.
