About our products

Yes, 95% of Interflon’s lubricant portfolio is PFAS-free. These lubricants:

  • do not contain PFAS, PTFE, microplastics or nanoparticles
  • comply with REACH, CLP, TSCA and other global standards

Our H1 and 3H food-grade lubricant portfolio is NSF 537 PFAS-free certified, supporting supplier approval and audit documentation. Certification status can be independently verified via NSF’s online listings.

MicPol® Technology is a key component in many Interflon products, enhancing their performance in various applications. It involves the use of very small and polarized particles that create a durable, low-friction film on surfaces.

The name MicPol is a combination of micronization and polarization. 

Micronization is part of a unique process, the components of the lubricant are reduced to such size that they are able to penetrate into all pores and sub-pores of the surface to be lubricated. This enables them to form a much better homogeneous barrier between moving parts (lubricating film).

Polarization happens during the production process when all components are given a charge. This ensures a unique adhesion to the surfaces to be lubricated. In addition, Interflon has succeeded in charging part of the base oil as well. This is called a bonding bridge and provides better resistance to high pressures as well.

Key Benefits:

  • Superior Reduction of Friction and Wear
  • Energy Efficiency
  • Temperature Reduction
  • Protection Against Contaminants
  • Long-Lasting Lubrication
  • Emergency Lubrication Properties 

You can find the minimum shelf-life on the delivery note. You can also find information about shelf life in the technical data sheet.

Interflon stands out thanks to three key differentiators: our proprietary MicPol® technology, our ongoing commitment to innovation, and our comprehensive approach to solutions. We combine premium lubricants, industrial cleaners, specialized services, and precision lubrication tools with in-depth expertise. Our team is here to help you overcome any challenge in the field of lubrication or process optimization.

About Interflon Oils

Form: Oils are liquids, while greases are semi-solids.

Mobility: Oils flow freely and are suitable for circulating systems, while greases stay put, making them ideal for applications where retention is crucial.

Applications: Oils are often used for internal lubrication of engines, hydraulics, and gearboxes where heat dissipation and continuous flow are important. Greases are preferred for bearings, open gears, and components exposed to contamination, shock loads, or infrequent maintenance, as they provide a thicker, more durable barrier.

Sealing: Greases can act as a sealant, preventing contaminants from entering the lubricated area, which oils generally cannot do as effectively.

A food-grade lubricant oil is specially formulated for use in food and beverage processing environments where incidental or direct food contact may occur. NSF H1 lubricants are approved for applications where incidental food contact is possible, while NSF 3H lubricants are suitable for use as release agents where direct food contact may occur. Interflon offers a wide range of food-grade oils designed to provide reliable lubrication while meeting the strict hygiene and safety requirements of the food industry.

Interflon's oils provide superior performance through its unique MicPol® Technology with many benefits: 

  • Reduced Friction and Wear: The MicPol® particles form an ultra-smooth, dry lubricating film that drastically lowers friction between moving parts. This leads to less wear, extended component life, and reduced maintenance needs. 
  • Energy Efficiency: Lower friction directly translates to reduced energy consumption and, consequently, lower CO2 emissions, offering environmental and cost benefits. 
  • Temperature Reduction: By minimizing friction, operating temperatures are lowered, which helps prevent thermal degradation of both the lubricant and the machinery components. 
  • Protection Against Contaminants: The dry film created by MicPol® Technology does not attract dirt, dust, or other abrasives, keeping surfaces cleaner and further reducing wear. It also provides excellent protection against moisture and corrosion. 
  • Long-Lasting Lubrication: The durable film adheres strongly to surfaces, providing extended lubrication even under extreme pressures, high loads, and water wash-off, leading to longer re-lubrication intervals. 
  • Emergency Lubrication: In some formulations, MicPol® provides emergency lubrication, ensuring continued protection even if the primary lubricant film is compromised.

About Interflon Greases

A grease spray is a grease lubricant packaged in an aerosol can, allowing it to be dispensed as a spray. This method of delivery offers several advantages, primarily precision and ease of application, especially for intricate machinery or components that are difficult to access manually. The grease itself is formulated with specific properties (e.g., high temperature resistance, food-grade, biodegradable) to suit different operational environments and requirements. Interflon has a range of grease sprays including Fin Grease, Grease OG and Grease HD2.

Form: Oils are liquids, while greases are semi-solids.

Mobility: Oils flow freely and are suitable for circulating systems, while greases stay put, making them ideal for applications where retention is crucial.

A food-grade grease is specially formulated for lubricating machinery and components in food and beverage processing environments. NSF H1 greases are suitable for applications where incidental food contact may occur, while NSF 3H greases can be used where direct food contact is possible. Interflon offers a wide range of food-grade greases designed to provide reliable lubrication while meeting the strict hygiene and safety requirements of the food industry.

You would choose high-temperature grease when your machinery operates under conditions of sustained high heat, heavy loads, exposure to aggressive chemicals, or when specific industry regulations (like food safety) require it, all while aiming for extended component life and reduced maintenance.


An assembly grease is a strong adhering, multipurpose grease and its primary function is to prevent common issues that arise during the assembly and operation of mechanical components such as jamming, fretting, rust and corrosion. Assembly grease is used as a reliable lubricating agent for various connections and to ease the assembly and disassembly of a wide range of commonly used machine parts.

Choosing the right grease is not merely about applying a lubricant; it's about selecting a specialized engineering component that matches the specific demands of the machinery and its operating environment. An incorrect choice can lead to accelerated wear, increased energy consumption, frequent breakdowns, higher maintenance costs, safety hazards, and regulatory non-compliance.
