Lower lubricant consumption and cost without compromising reliability
Save up to 80% on lubricant use with MicPol® technology
At first glance, Interflon lubricants may seem more expensive. But when you look at the total cost over time, the picture changes. Our lubricants form a strong, durable film that stays in place and continues to protect, even under pressure, vibration or wash-off.
This results in more efficient lubrication: less product, applied less often, with better long-term outcomes. Customers report up to 80% lower lubricant consumption, while improving uptime, reliability and component life, thanks to the unique properties of MicPol® technology.
Proven in the field
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners reports up to 80% lower lubricant consumption, while improving uptime, reliability and component life, largely thanks to the unique properties of MicPol® technology. By combining this with simple automation, such as automatic lubrication cartridges (Single Point Lubricators) on bearings and chains, the result was further enhanced.

Why using more isn’t always better
In many cases, adding more lubricant is unnecessary, and may even increase the risk of failure. Over-lubrication is a common yet underestimated cause of wear in bearings, seals and gears. Excess grease can trap heat and resistance between moving parts. Seals may become overloaded and energy consumption increases. According to industry guidelines, every 10 °C increase above 65 °C can halve a lubricant’s lifespan. As lubricant quality declines, friction rises, accelerating both component wear and product breakdown, leading to higher costs and reduced machine reliability.
How MicPol® helps you use less
MicPol® technology addresses the core problems behind over-lubrication and excess wear. The combination of micronisation and polarisation allows the lubricant to:
- Form a uniform, long-lasting film that resists displacement
- Provide full protection with smaller quantities
- Extend relubrication intervals and reduce friction(-related heat)
This leads to cleaner applications, fewer interventions and longer machine life, all while using less product.
Beyond product savings: operational advantages
Reducing lubricant use goes beyond lowering material costs. It affects your entire maintenance process.
- Lower costs: Reduced consumption, fewer breakdowns, extended intervals
- Smaller environmental footprint: Less waste, fewer transports, less storage space
- Improved safety and efficiency: Fewer interventions in hazardous areas; more time for high-value tasks

Frequently Asked Questions
Lubricant consumption can be significantly reduced by selecting high-performance lubricants with advanced film-forming properties, such as those based on MicPol® technology. These lubricants allow for lower quantities and extended relubrication intervals, while maintaining effective protection against wear, friction and corrosion. In practice, the combination with automated lubrication systems has resulted in documented reductions of up to 80%, as well as improved equipment reliability and service life.
MicPol® technology in lubricants combines micronisation and polarisation to form a uniform lubricating film that adheres effectively to metal surfaces. In contrast to conventional lubricants, which often require larger quantities and frequent reapplication, MicPol®technology based lubricants remain in place under load, wash-off and vibration. This contributes to more stable lubrication conditions over time, with reduced product use and fewer maintenance interventions.
Field data shows that the combination of lubricants with MicPol® technology and automatic lubrication systems can lead to reductions in lubricant consumption of up to 80%, depending on the application and operating conditions. Most of the savings are attributable to the improved efficiency of the lubricant itself, supported by consistent and controlled delivery through devices such as Single Point Lubricators. This approach also contributes to reduced waste, less manual intervention and improved equipment reliability.
