Unless desired, friction adversely affects efficiency of motion transfer. Quest for a perfect lubricant that can reduce friction and maximize performance under varying environmental conditions has continued over ages and led to the development of advanced lubrication technologies.
While reduction of friction and wear between contacting surfaces is still the primary concern, modern day lubricants shoulder much enormous responsibilities. The lubricant not only has to contend extreme operating conditions such as excessive temperatures, exposure to water, dirt and dust laden environments but also provide long term or in some cases lifetime lubrication. Such demanding applications require special lubrication technology.
Pioneering the technology, BECHEM, has developed a vast array of high performance lubricants for critical applications across industry segments. Equipped with state-of-the-art production units in Germany, India and China, BECHEM has the capability to supply high performance specialty lubricants across the world.
BECHEM India is a 100% subsidiary of BECHEM GMBH with its Corporate office and plant located in Bangalore. BECHEM India is ‘ISO/IATF/16949 : 2016’ certified and manufactures high quality speciality lubricants for critical applications in various industries such as Cement, Steel, Automotive, Textile, Food & Pharma, Sugar Processing and Metal Working Processes.
Lubricating Greases
BECHEM develops and produces high-performance greases for various industrial applications and extreme requirements. BECHEM offers a wide range of lubricating greases for roller bearings, gears, plastic and electronic components. The applications range from rough conditions in the heavy industry to demanding applications in automotive technology and aeronautics.
Lubricating Oils
Whether as hydraulic fluid, gear oil or food grade chain oil with NSF-H1 approval – for various industrial applications BECHEM offers a range of products which significantly contributes to a modern production and manufacturing technology as well as service and maintenance.
Pastes and Sprays
BECHEM offers an extensive range of pastes and lubricant products in aerosol cans for the application fields service, maintenance and assembly. Compared to lubricating greases pastes have a considerably higher ratio of solid lubricants and thickeners. As such, pastes are mainly suitable for all applications where very high pressures and extremely high temperatures are involved. They actively prevent fretting corrosion. Pastes are suitable as antiseize agent for multiple assembly tasks, e.g. to avoid cold welding of inserted tools and wear bushings of pneumatic tools.
Lubricants for the Food Processing and Pharmaceutical Industry
BECHEM products comply with the standards and requirements of modern food grade lubricants. They fulfil the strict regulations of the worldwide operating organisation for product testing and certifications, NSF International. In addition, many of these qualities meet the Islamic requirements and are certified as Halal. Food grade lubricants are used for lubrication, power transmission and corrosion protection of machines to manufacture or process foodstuffs, food related commodities, pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, tobacco products and animal feed.
Coolants for Metal Removal Operations
As a developer and manufacturer of coolants BECHEM has offered high-performance cooling to this demanding market segment for decades. The BECHEM Avantin, Berucool and Berucut product series covers the whole range of water miscible and non water miscible coolants. The modern structure of these products ensures maximum efficiency for all operating conditions. In these conventional coolants either the cooling or the lubricating properties dominate, depending on their structure. Water and oil can be considered as the common base fluids.
Environmentally compatible lubricants and additives
Through extensive research and development work BECHEM has developed a high-performance range of environmentally compatible lubricants and additives. Besides ecotoxicological harmlessness for water and soil, quick biodegradability and conservation of resources, the bio lubricants made by BECHEM excel in terms of their high lubricating performance.
