Less friction, lower maintenance costs, higher output, simpler compliance
MicPol® technology
What does MicPol® technology do for you?
- Minimal metal-to-metal contact: lower friction and wear, fewer unplanned stops, lower energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.
- Longer lubricant life: longer lubrication intervals, less lubricant consumed and less time spent on lubrication tasks.
- Reliable protection at start-up, during stop-start operation and under variable loads: longer component life and higher equipment availability.
- A bonded tribofilm that resists water wash-out and shields the surface from contaminants: better corrosion protection and fewer contamination-related stoppages.
- Free from PFAS, PTFE, microplastics, silicones, nanomaterials and substances on the REACH SVHC candidate list: simpler compliance. Interflon lubricants with MicPol® technology contain none of these substances, including nanomaterials as defined by the EU. Declarations are available for your audits.
What is MicPol® technology?
MicPol® technology is Interflon’s proprietary lubrication technology. It enhances the properties of Interflon lubricants and is developed to reduce friction and keep metal-to-metal contact to a minimum throughout the entire lubrication interval.
How does MicPol® technology work?
MicPol® technology combines two inseparable principles:
Micronisation reduces Interflon’s proprietary additives to an ultra-fine size, so they reach the entire contact surface and settle into its microscopic irregularities, lowering the effective surface roughness.
Polarisation makes the micronised additives and part of the base oil adhere strongly to metal, so the lubricant stays where it is needed, even under harsh conditions.
Through alignment, netting and anchoring, the micronised and polarised functional components form a smooth tribofilm bonded to the metal surface. It stays in place under high loads, high shear and in corrosive environments, and resists being pushed out of the contact zone. This keeps friction low, right where it matters most.
How do you know it works in your plant?
Results depend on the application, the load and the operating conditions. An Interflon Technical Advisor assesses your lubrication points, selects the right product and interval, and documents the baseline, so that the effect on intervals, consumption and downtime can be measured rather than assumed.
