Why special lubricants are indispensable in modern tribology

Standard lubricants reach their limits – special lubricants offer tailor-made solutions for extreme loads, temperature ranges and minimal consumption quantities. In our seminar, you will learn how modern speciality lubricants provide reliable protection throughout the entire life cycle of components, save energy and reduce maintenance costs. Learn how to select the optimal products and, as a competent contact person, how to utilise the advantages of these innovative tribology wonder weapons.

  • Understanding the essential properties of modern speciality lubricants
  • Ability to select the most suitable lubricants for specific applications
  • Weighing up costs and benefits when selecting products
  • Increasing expertise as a knowledgeable discussion partner in the field of speciality lubricants
  • Design engineers and lubricant managers at OEMs
  • Technical advisors and sales representatives from lubricant manufacturers
  • Skilled employees, managers and executives working in the field of service and maintenance
  • Technical experts
    Seminar (2 days)
