High-Temperature Lubricants
Reliable Protection Where Heat Pushes Equipment to the Limit
When conventional lubricants fail, Klüber high-temperature greases, oils, and pastes keep your equipment running. From bakery ovens to steel mills, Droplex delivers NSF H1-certified and industrial-grade solutions that prevent failures, extend equipment life, and reduce downtime in extreme thermal conditions.
Why High-Temperature Lubricants Matter
Equipment in high-heat environments faces unique challenges:
- Premature bearing and chain failures in ovens and kilns
- Residue buildup and carbonization from standard oils
- Frequent re-lubrication causing downtime and added costs
- OEM specifications requiring certified, tested products
👉 Klüber high-temperature lubricants are engineered to:
- Reduce friction and wear at elevated temperatures
- Minimize residue formation and carbonization
- Maintain stable viscosity across wide temperature ranges
- Extend re-lubrication intervals and reduce costs

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 $350,000 annually.
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.
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
