Our Commitment
At Interflon Scotland, we deliver meaningful sustainability results by helping customers: reduce costs and emissions, improve performance, use fewer resources and generate less waste
We've calculated our own carbon footprint and developed a clear roadmap to Net Zero, ensuring we practice what we preach.
Proven impact: real-world results
Working with the Smart Manufacturing Data Hub and Devtank, we've measured and verified the improvements delivered by Interflon lubricants in live industrial settings.
"The findings strongly suggest that high-performance lubrication has the potential to deliver meaningful efficiency gains, cost savings and environmental benefits in industrial settings."

How we help customers achieve sustainability goals
Reducing Waste
Lube Shuttle Cartridges: Replace up to 72 single-use cartridges per refill, saving approximately 5kg of plastic
Lubrication Rationalisation: Reduce onsite products, cutting complexity, cost, and waste
Component Life Extension: Extend the lifespan of critical mechanical components, reducing replacement frequency
Low-Impact Products
PFAS-free and biodegradable lubricants supporting safer use and disposal
Full compliance with global standards including REACH and ECHA
Long-lasting performance means smaller quantities required, reducing consumption and packaging
Measurable Performance Improvements
Interflon Energy Service: Reduced mechanical friction by 12% and cut energy-related emissions by 8% in just 3 weeks on a single gearbox
Automatic Lubrication Systems: Transformed one production line from 15 weeks of downtime a year to 18 months of uninterrupted operation
1.4 tonnes of CO₂e saved: Equivalent to taking a car off the road for 5,000 miles

Customer success stories
Whyte & MacKay
“If we were to use all the recommended OEM lubricants, we would need to store about 150 different lubricants on site. Thanks to Interflon, we've managed to consolidate that down to about 17 different lubricants.”
