Our Commitment
At Interflon Scotland, we're committed to supporting Scotland's transition to a sustainable economy by delivering meaningful results for our customers and the environment.
We help customers reduce costs, improve performance and meet sustainability goals while using fewer resources and generating less waste. This creates long-term values and supports the shift to a more efficient, lower-carbon industrial sector.
We've also calculated our own carbon footprint and developed a clear roadmap with actionable steps toward Net Zero.
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
At Interflon Scotland, our biggest sustainability impact comes through helping customers do more with less—less energy, less waste, less downtime.
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
Our products keep machines running efficiently by reducing friction, cutting carbon, and extending the life of critical assets. A smarter approach to lubrication not only improves performance—it directly supports our customers' climate goals.
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
We help businesses streamline their lubrication strategies, reduce emissions, and cut maintenance waste—backed by real-world data and measurable results.
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
“With Interflon's support we've brought down our different site lubricants from 150 to just 17...They've delivered training in-house to help us understand why we use certain lubricants, where to use them and how often. That's helped save money and improved our application practices. They're genuinely passionate about lubrication, and it shows."
