Industrial Lubricants
Among the types of industrial lubricants that stand out for reducing operational costs, the power generation range is particularly noteworthy. These lubricating oils are used in stationary and mobile generators, gas engines, spark ignition systems, gas turbines, and combined-cycle systems. They are formulated with metal-free additives and provide maximum thermal stability.
Within the energy industry, it is essential to have a lubrication system that helps increase efficiency and reliability in operational machinery. This helps prevent production losses and reduce costs associated with equipment downtime. Long-life lubricants are required, especially those designed to improve efficiency and production in combined-cycle turbines, as well as the reliability of remote wind turbines.
At Pochteca Lubricants you will find the complete range of industrial lubricants. Contact us and we will help you choose the most suitable product according to your needs.
We offer a wide range of lubricants for the metalworking industry that help ensure efficient protection of finished components.
What is the metalworking industry?
The metalworking industry is one of the most important industrial sectors, supplying other links in the production chain with machinery, tools, consumer goods, custom metal tools, and industrial oils or lubricants used to maintain parts in optimal condition. The metalworking concept has more than 60 years of history supporting other industries.
What materials are used in the metalworking industry?
The metalworking industry includes suppliers of tools, machinery, and industrial lubricants used to maintain metals and iron alloys in optimal condition, as these are essential inputs in the manufacturing of goods and materials in the sector.
The importance of the metalworking sector lies in providing machinery, supplies, and the lubrication required for industries such as automotive, mining, agriculture, manufacturing, construction, among others that rely on metals and iron alloys as primary raw materials.

What are lubricants in mechanics?
Lubricants for the metalworking sector help extend the lifespan and maintain the proper condition of machinery and metal tools. According to the API (American Petroleum Institute), they are classified into the following groups:
- Group I. A lubricant oil derived from petroleum. Its formulation contains solvents, sulfur, and saturated molecules.
- Group II. A hydroprocessed oil with fewer impurities, less sulfur, and 90% fewer unsaturated molecules.
- Group III. A type of oil subjected to different levels of pressure and temperature to refine it and provide a higher viscosity index to better withstand oxidation.
- Group IV. Known as PAOs (polyalphaolefins), they use ethylene gas as their raw material.
- Group V. Synthetic oils that are not derived from petroleum extraction. They are usually produced from alcohols and developed in laboratories to provide suitable lubrication characteristics.
Lubricating Greases. These are solid lubricants that use thickening additives in their formulation so the product can be applied as a protective film over metals.
How to choose an industrial lubricant?
The lubricant for the metalworking industry should be selected based on the specific application in which it will be used, as well as the manufacturer’s recommendations.
