Chain Oils for Extreme Conditions

Chains come in as many forms as the jobs they do. Conveyor chains, roller chains, leaf chains and accumulation chains all differ significantly in design, material and function, and each places its own demands on the lubricant.
Choosing the right chain oil is what keeps your chain running smoothly for as long as possible.

NEUKIRCH chain lubricants are developed for a wide range of chain systems and operating conditions. Every product line has the same goal: reliable lubrication inside the chain, to minimise friction, reduce wear and significantly extend chain life.

To match your application precisely, we offer dedicated solutions for different chain types and uses.

Lubrilog LY F -Series

High-Performance Chain Oil

When ester-based chain oils reach their limits: a fully inert PFPE oil with no flash point, for processes with the highest demands on purity, safety and chemical resistance.

Temperature range: -30 °C to +300 °C

Typical applications:

  • Food production (NSF H1 registered)
  • Cleanroom applications
  • Tube and can manufacturing

How to Choose the Right Chain Oil

The right lubrication always depends on your specific operating conditions. Key factors include:
  • Chain load and speed
  • Material, e.g. steel, stainless steel or coated surfaces
  • Operating environment: temperature, humidity, chemicals
  • Chain type and application, e.g. conveyor chain or drive chain
  • Lubrication method: open-running or oil bath
One thing matters above all: a high-quality chain lubricant works inside the chain, not just on the surface.

Chain Oil - FAQs

To protect your chains reliably against wear and excessive friction, a chain oil should offer:

  • Good penetration and creep properties
  • Strong adhesion, even under load
  • Reliable corrosion protection
  • Temperature stability and low evaporation at high temperatures

Combined with regular maintenance, the right oil can significantly extend chain life and performance while cutting downtime and operating costs.

Yes. For most products, we also offer smaller quantities such as 50 g cartridges or samples. These are ideal for trials, prototypes or spot relubrication. To request a sample, call us on +49 9342 9169393 or email support@neukirchlubrication.de.

Yes. Many of the high-temperature greases we supply, particularly from the FLUOSTAR series, are NSF H1 registered for incidental food contact. They meet the relevant requirements for applications in packaging, food processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
