Industrial lubricants and maintenance chemicals supplier
Industrial Lubricants, Greases, Adhesives & Maintenance Chemicals
Picking the right grease, thread locker, or hand cleaner for a job isn’t about brand loyalty, it’s about load, temperature, cure chemistry, and how the part actually gets used. This hub groups everything by the problem it solves rather than by manufacturer, with a documented alternative listed next to each item where one exists, so a purchasing manager can compare sourcing options, a maintenance supervisor can check the operating range, and a mechanic can see how it’s actually applied. Every fact below comes from a supplier data sheet, a verified product page, or a visible label. Where documentation is thin, we say so instead of guessing.

How to select the right product
Two products can look almost identical on a shelf and behave completely differently in service.
Start with the component. A wire rope, a slew ring, a threaded fastener, and a bare hand all need something different, so match the product to the failure mode, not the aisle it’s stocked in. Then think about load, motion, temperature, and whether water or salt spray is involved. For adhesives and thread lockers, cure chemistry and substrate matter as much as strength grade. Finally check what your OEM specifies. If a machine builder names an approval or a specific grade, that requirement overrides anything a general product description implies, and it’s worth confirming with us before you substitute a listed alternative.

Wire Rope Lubricants & Greases
5 productsWire ropes fail from the inside out. The core and inner strands corrode before the outer wires show visible wear, so a wire rope product has to penetrate the whole rope, not just coat the surface, while resisting fling off under load.

Open Gear, Slew Ring & High Load Lubricants
2 productsOpen gears and slew rings run exposed to weather and often sit still for long stretches between movements. The grease has to cling under pressure and keep protecting the metal even when the ring isn’t turning.
ROCOL

For open gears, sliding contacts, large chains, closed wire ropes, toothed couplings, guides, and crane or industrial drives, where each application is source supported.
Chain & Conveyor Lubricants
1 productChains move fast and often run in tight spaces, so the lubricant needs to sling less and stick more than a general purpose oil.
ROCOL
Chainguard Hi-Load Spray
High load chain lubricant, part 22141, 300 ml aerosol
- -30°C to +180°C, 250 kg four ball weld load
- Fortified with molybdenum disulphide for load and wear resistance
- Highly water repellent, good water displacing properties
For industrial and forklift chains under sustained load, particularly in wet or humid conditions where corrosion protection matters as much as lubrication.
Industrial Degreasers
2 productsBefore you lubricate, coat, or weld a component, whatever oil and residue is already on it has to come off cleanly, and that’s a different job from lubrication with a different safety profile.
VC040
Solvent Degreaser
Low odour refined solvent degreaser
- Removes oils, grease, machining and hydraulic fluids, coatings
- Suited to ultrasonic cleaning and surface preparation
- TDS states a 62°C flash point
The SDS separately flags an aspiration hazard with ignition and PPE precautions. We don’t call this product non toxic or simply “safe,” because the hazard data doesn’t support that.
CRC
Ozzy Juice Heavy Duty, 14148
Aqueous parts washer degreasing solution, 5 gallon pail
- Water based, pH neutral surfactant blend, non flammable and non corrosive
- Effective across 105°F to 115°F wash temperature
- EPA Safer Choice certified
Built for use in a CRC SmartWasher parts washing system, not a spray and wipe degreaser. Confirm your team has the SmartWasher unit before ordering, since this solution is formulated specifically for it.
Electrical Contact Cleaners
1 productContacts, relays, and control panels need a cleaner that evaporates fully and leaves nothing conductive behind, and the precautions around live equipment are non negotiable.
LPS, CFC Free
Electro Contact Cleaner
Fast evaporating cleaner, part 03116, 11 oz aerosol

Anti-seize and assembly lubricant paste, 510 g pack
- Heavy duty paste format for high temperature threaded assembly
- Full performance data available on request
Standard 510 g pack size, useful for procurement matching order quantities against existing Loctite stock lines.
Penetrating & Specialty Maintenance Lubricants
1 productGeneral maintenance work often just needs something to free a seized fastener, chase out moisture, or quiet a squeak while a proper repair gets scheduled.
ASV
Penetroil, 400 ml
Multipurpose 5 in 1 maintenance lubricant
- Label states it stops squeaks and penetrates rust
- Displaces moisture, protects against corrosion
- Also cleans light contaminants, per the label
These are label claims rather than tested figures. Treat this as a general workshop product, not a substitute for a documented industrial lubricant on critical equipment.
Adhesives, Thread Lockers & Sealants
3 productsA thread locker, a thread sealant, and a general purpose adhesive solve three different joints. Mixing them up costs more in rework than the tube itself ever costs.
Loctite
243
Medium strength threadlocker, 50 ml tube
- Blue anaerobic acrylic, oil tolerant on lightly contaminated threads
- -55°C to +150°C standard operating range
- Handling strength around 10 minutes, full cure 24 hours at room temperature
The standard pick for bolts that need to come apart again during scheduled maintenance, not a permanent joint.
Loctite
496
Cyanoacrylate instant adhesive
- Low viscosity, humidity cure, fixture time 10 to 30 seconds
- -54°C to +82°C service range, full cure 24 hours
- Bonds metals, rubbers, and plastics, complies with MIL-A-46050C
A fast, general bonding option for small component repair rather than a structural or load bearing joint.
Loctite
567
PTFE thread sealant, 50 ml pack
- Seals pipe and fitting threads against pressure loss, oil tolerant
- -55°C to +200°C, rated to 10,000 psi on liquid lines
- Off white methacrylate, disassembles with hand tools
Used on threaded pipe fittings where you need a seal, not a structural lock, so don’t substitute it for 243 or vice versa.
Pneumatic System Lubricants
1 productPneumatic cylinders and valves need an oil that won’t gum up seals or leave deposits in the air line, which rules out most general purpose hydraulic oils.
Festo
Special Oil OFSW-32
Pneumatic system lubricant, part 152811, 1 litre can
- ISO VG 32, 32 cSt at 40°C, meets DIN 51524 HLP 32
- LABS (PWIS) conformity per VDMA 24364-B2-L
Matched to Festo pneumatic components where the OEM specifies a compatible lubricator oil for seal life.
Valve Lubricants & Sealants
4 productsPlug, ball, and gate valves each hold a film of lubricant under pressure while resisting whatever is flowing past them, whether that’s drinking water, sour gas, or frac fluid. A general purpose grease doesn’t hold up here, so this group is built entirely from products documented for valve service.
Molykote
111 Compound
Silicone valve and dielectric sealant compound, NLGI 3 to 4
- -40°C to +204°C (-40°F to 400°F)

Lubchem
Fractastic H2O & WG
Synthetic frac valve lubricant, winter grade available
- 100 percent synthetic, water insoluble and washout resistant
- -20°F to 450°F, winter grade (WG) rated below -40°F

Documentation: TDS and SDS
Two documents drive every claim on this page, and they answer different questions.
Technical Data Sheet (TDS)
Covers what the product is and where it’s meant to be used: base oil or thickener, NLGI grade, temperature range, load performance, and any stated OEM approval.
Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
Covers hazard classification, PPE, handling, storage, transport, and disposal. Where the SDS flags something like an aspiration hazard, that wording carries through unchanged, not softened for marketing.
Current TDS and SDS documents, and full spec sheets for the newly listed adhesives, pastes, and pneumatic oil, are available on request with your RFQ. If a TDS and an SDS for the same product describe something differently, we flag it for verification rather than quietly picking one version.
Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between a wire rope lubricant and a wire rope dressing?
Both protect the rope, but a dressing like ROCOL Wire Rope Dressing is semi fluid and applied to coat and penetrate, while a pseudoplastic lubricant like WIRESHIELD shears thin under motion so it works into the strands as the rope runs. Which one fits depends on whether the rope moves constantly or sits static for long periods.
Why does crane boom grease need salt water resistance for GCC operations?
Ports, marine terminals, and coastal construction sites expose boom sections and slew rings to salt laden air and spray, which accelerates corrosion faster than a general purpose grease can handle. Products like rhenus CAZ 2 document salt water corrosion protection specifically for that reason.
Can Loctite 243 and Loctite 567 be used on the same joint?
No, and this trips up a lot of new technicians. 243 is a threadlocker for fasteners that need to resist vibration loosening but still come apart with hand tools. 567 is a thread sealant for pipe fittings, built to stop pressure loss rather than lock a bolt. Use the one matched to the joint, not whichever tube is closer.
Are the alternative brands listed here direct equivalents?
They’re documented sourcing alternatives, not confirmed drop in replacements. Cure chemistry, temperature range, and substrate compatibility can differ between brands even at a similar strength grade, so confirm against your OEM specification before substituting on a critical joint or component.
Can VC040 solvent degreaser be used before coating or welding?
It’s documented for surface preparation and removing oils, grease, and machining fluids, which supports that use case. Because the SDS lists an aspiration hazard and ignition precautions, make sure ventilation and PPE match the safety data sheet before working near a heat source.
Is the CFC free contact cleaner safe on live electrical equipment?
No. The supplied documentation is explicit that it should not be used on energized equipment while it’s in operation, and the surface needs to dry fully before restart. Isolate the circuit first.
Which valve lubricant do I need for H2S or CO2 service?
Lubchem Everlast 50-500 and Fractastic H2O & WG are both documented as inhibited for H2S and CO2, and Everlast additionally meets the Mil-G-6032 plug valve specification. Molykote 111 Compound is a separate case, it’s a general silicone valve and O-ring sealant with drinking water approvals, but the sheet is explicit that it isn’t rated for liquid oxygen service, so don’t reach for it on a gas duty valve by default.
Is a hand cleaning paste like BIGPURE different from a liquid hand cleaner?
Yes. A liquid hand cleaner like Permatex, Gojo, or Wurth relies mostly on its chemistry to cut grease. BIGPURE is a solvent free paste that adds skin compatible scrubbing particles for mechanical friction, which some workshops prefer for heavier carbon black or brake dust contamination. Both still need a full water rinse to finish.
Do you provide TDS and SDS documents with a quotation?
Yes. Ask for current TDS and SDS for any product on this page when you submit an RFQ, and we’ll include them so your team can verify specifications before ordering.
Need a specific lubricant, grease, adhesive, or maintenance chemical?
Send the equipment model, component, existing product, operating conditions, and required quantity, and we’ll match it to a documented product or a verified alternative.
Start your RFQInclude: product or component, equipment type, make and model, existing product in use, part number, quantity, operating temperature, water or salt exposure, application method, destination, required delivery date, and whether you need TDS/SDS attached.
