Valves and fittings include complex tribological systems and to minimise wear of such components, the lubricant has to be compatible with many materials. Our certified specialty lubricants are designed to meet your individual requirements, ensuring your valves and fittings operate reliably for their entire lifetime.
Valves, slides, taps and flaps - all control the flow of media through the pipelines. They can be found in all industries, municipalities and households. Only a few of them can do without a lubricant reducing wear and ensuring proper function of the components. The most suitable lubricant for your application depends on many factors: type of material, type of friction, load, kind of motion, speed, temperature, pressure and the valve lifetime. Additionally, most valves and fittings are subject to guidelines, standards and legal requirements.
Lubricants for drinking water valves have to meet the country guidelines, be resistant to media, provide good sealing effect and offer good tactile properties at all temperatures. When used in contact with fuel gases, high media resistance is of particular importance. For oxygen installations, exclusively certified lubricants have to be used for safety.
For all these different and complex tribological systems and requirements Klüber Lubrication offers the right speciality lubricants extending the service life of your valves and fittings significantly. Our experts also provide comprehensive advice and develop solutions together with you based on all relevant factors like component design, materials and ambient influences.
