In plastics processing, every detail counts – especially when processes need to run consistently and cost-effectively over the long term. One of the key factors: the right lubricant.
ELKALUB’s high-performance lubricants can measurably increase equipment performance, minimize downtime, and improve energy efficiency. The product line was specifically developed for particularly demanding applications - whether PA, PC, or PEEK (polyetheretherketone), PA (polyamide), or PC (polycarbonate). Temperature-stable formulations, optimally matched viscosity, and NSF H1 certifications ensure compliance with even the strictest industry standards. For companies that produce quality products in series, reliable technology is crucial – and so is lubrication you can count on.

Anyone involved in plastics processing knows that machines must deliver peak performance – under heat, pressure, and high cycle rates. The quality and proper formulation of the lubricant are particularly critical in determining friction behavior, service life, maintenance intervals, and maintenance costs. At ELKALUB, we’ve been developing lubricants for decades that are precisely tailored to these challenges. With over 190 formulations, we offer precise solutions for applications in injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion. We combine state-of-the-art additive technologies with practical development work, including custom solutions tailored to individual customer needs. The result: maximum lubrication performance with minimal maintenance requirements.
Our products are designed for continuous industrial operation – not just a lab claim, but proven in the field:
Andreas Bauer, Technical Director:
“Our customers report maintenance intervals that are up to 30% longer thanks to the use of our specialty lubricants.”
