Tribo Lube Group Of Companies Answers The Challenges Of The New Day It is expected that technical and regulatory requirements for lubricants, such as REACH legislation, will become even more stringent over time. This will increase the demand for high-performance lubricants, which will be characterized by a high degree of specialization and individualization. Innovative process fluids with new properties are required when using new high performance materials such as plastics, coated materials or titanium and aluminum alloys for aerospace and medical device applications. In the automotive industry, ever-increasing engine power puts even greater stress on transmissions and increases the demands on the oil used. Innovative greases are required to address key challenges in the sector: lightweight construction, fuel economy and increased use of electric motors. The relevance of topics related to social and environmental responsibility, in terms of climate change or scarcity of resources, requires new approaches in the value chain. Key words include CO2 reduction, energy efficiency, fuel efficiency, use of renewable resources and recycling. The Tribo Lube group of companies successfully solves these problems.
