Sustainable Lubricant Additives for NSF HX-1, LuSC and EAL Formulations

Desilube supports lubricant manufacturers developing food-grade, environmentally acceptable and industrial lubricant formulations with proprietary EP/AW/AF additive technologies.

The Desilube portfolio includes NSF HX-1 registered additive ingredients, LuSC-listed additive options and industrial chemistries for grease, metalworking fluid, gear oil, hydraulic fluid and specialty lubricant development.

Formulation Areas

• Food-grade lubricant additive support: Desilube 88, Desilube 98F and Desilube 99L/FEL can be evaluated where NSF HX-1 additive ingredients are required for H1 lubricant formulation work.
• Environmentally acceptable lubricant development: LuSC-listed Desilube additive ingredients can support EAL and EU Ecolabel-oriented formulation programs.
• Industrial EP/AW/AF performance: Desilube 77 and 99L provide industrial additive options for metalworking fluids, greases and specialty lubricant systems.
• Bio-based additive technology: Desilube AEP provides a lignin-based EP additive option for environmentally oriented lubricant development.

Important Formulation Note

Final food-grade, EAL or Ecolabel status depends on the complete finished lubricant formulation, treat rate, applicable registration limits and current regulatory documentation. Desilube helps formulation teams evaluate additive compatibility, performance targets and documentation needs before scale-up.
