High Temperature Lubricants for Extreme Heat Applications
Grease, Chain Oils & Heat-Resistant Lubricants for Extreme Conditions
When standard lubricants fail under heat, equipment begins to wear, seize, or fail.
We supply high-temperature greases, chain oils, and assembly pastes designed to perform reliably in extreme thermal conditions—reducing failures, extending component life, and stabilizing operations.
What This Solves
- Lubricants breaking down at high temperatures
- Bearing and chain failures in ovens, kilns, and dryers
- Carbon buildup from conventional oils
- Frequent re-lubrication and downtime
Our High-Temperature Solutions
High-Temperature Grease
For bearings, conveyors, and high-load applications.
- Extreme temperature grease (up to 260°C+)
- PTFE and synthetic base oils
- Long re-lubrication intervals
- Reduced wear under high load
High-Temperature Chain Oil
For oven chains, conveyor systems, and continuous processes.
- Extreme temperature grease (up to 260°C+)
- PTFE and synthetic base oils
- Long re-lubrication intervals
- Reduced wear under high load
Heat-Resistant Assembly Pastes
For bolts, threads, and components exposed to extreme heat.
- Anti-seize protection up to 1,000°C+
- Reliable assembly and dismantling
- Protection against corrosion and seizure
Where This Matters Most
- Packaging → high-speed heated machinery
- Food & Beverage → oven chains, dryers (Food-grade NSF H1)
- Cement → kilns, clinker handling
- Steel & Metals → hot zones and rolling mills
- Plastics → extruders and heated systems
Proven Results
Case Study: Food Manufacturer
A major bakery faced frequent oven chain failures, costing $20,000/hour in downtime.
After switching to Klüberfood NH1 CH 2-220, chain life extended by 300% and maintenance costs dropped 65%, saving over $75,000 annually.
Why The Right High-Temperature Lubricants Matter
- High-temperature lubricants are engineered to:
- Maintain viscosity at elevated temperatures
- Reduce residue and carbon formation
- Extend lubrication intervals
- Protect components under continuous heat
Tip: How To Determine Maximum Operating Temperature
When selecting a grease, use these guidelines to establish the maximum operating temperature if not provided by the manufacturer:
- For greases with dropping points below 150°C: Subtract 24°C from the dropping point
- For greases with dropping points between 150°C and 205°C: Subtract 38°C from the dropping point
- For greases with dropping points above 205°C: Subtract 65°C from the dropping point
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should high-temp lubricants be reapplied?
A: Intervals depend on operating conditions. Droplex specialists help design optimal schedules.
Q: Are these lubricants compatible with seals and plastics?
A: Yes, many are formulated for elastomer and plastic compatibility. Always check data sheets.
Q: Can I use them in my food plant?
A: Yes, we provide certified NSF H1-registered high-temperature lubricants for food processing industries.
