Lumar Química in the press: ACCIÓ highlights our International expansion

When temperatures drop and frost covers the morning, it is essential to have solutions that protect against the extreme cold. Antifreeze is like a shield against winter, ensuring that everything from heating systems to industrial applications keeps running smoothly.

When it comes to hydraulic equipment, choosing the right hydraulic fluid can make all the difference. With so many different types and brands available, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure about which one to choose. But fear not because, in this comprehensive guide, we’ll unlock the secrets of hydraulic fluid and help you choose the perfect type for your equipment.

Polyalphaolefins (PAO) are non-polar synthetic lubricant bases (polymerised oils) classified in group IV according to the API lubricant base categories. PAOs are commonly used in engine oils (also for electric vehicles), hydraulics, compressors, gears and bearings, which operate in extreme temperature environments. They are also used in wind generators and as lubricant bases for grease formulation.

Sulphur-containing additives are used in lubricating oils, hydraulic fluids, metalworking fluids and greases to provide extreme pressure (EP) and anti-wear (AW) properties. Their activity depends largely on the sulphur content and the type of sulphur compound.

Lubricants must be formulated to meet the requirements of the application. Consequently, they consist of a base product to which additives are added to improve the properties of the base lubricant. Although the variety of additives used in the industry is very wide, it is possible to group them into three broad categories: those that modify the properties of the lubricants, those that protect the base lubricant and those that protect the working surfaces.

For several months, a team of LUMAR professionals has been working on redesigning the new website and we are pleased to say that we have now launched www.lumarquimica.com

In the automotive world, engine efficiency and performance are crucial. Lubricants are the lifeblood of your engine, but to push your engine's performance to the maximum, specialised additives are needed. In this article, we explore the essential role of automotive additives and how they boost the performance and durability of your engine.

For more than 20 years, LUMAR is the key partner of SEQENS in Europe for the distribution of its Lubricant additives. SEQENS is working closely with LUMAR to support European customers for lubricants’ formulations, characterization as well as trouble shooting.

We are pleased to announce that Lumar Química has obtained ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, a recognition that endorses our commitment to quality, environmental care and occupational safety. This achievement reflects our constant effort to implement practices that not only meet the highest international standards, but also strengthen our relationship with customers, employees and society.

In an increasingly regulated global environment, ensuring regulatory compliance and safety in the acquisition of chemical products is not only a legal requirement, but also an ethical commitment to sustainability, the health and safety of all our stakeholders and business transparency. Lumar Química, as a benchmark in the chemical additives industry, incorporates these requirements into its business model, standing out for its proactivity in the implementation of global regulations and standards.

From 19 to 21 October, the 2022 UEIL Annual Congress will be held in Athens, Greece. LUMAR takes part as a sponsoring member of this event.

In the industrial environment, industrial lubricants play a vital role in the maintenance and efficient operation of equipment. In this article, we will provide you with key information about industrial lubricants, their importance and how to choose the right lubricant to maximise the performance of your equipment and minimise downtime.

The extensive catalogue of products that LUMAR offers its customers now includes a new AW/EP additive, EI SIULFADO 1717E by SEQENS.

Antifreeze is a product that when diluted in water, results in a coolant whose primary function is to protect a system by dissipating heat to keep the system at the optimum working temperature. This is achieved by lowering the freezing point of the base chosen for cooling/heat removal from the system.

At Lumar, our work is committed to sustainability, a way of acting and respecting the environment. That is why we help you formulate lubricants that are more environmentally sustainable.
