Future-proof lubrication: fully aligned with evolving regulations

Complete portfolio of PFAS-free lubricants

Interflon sets a new standard for sustainable lubrication. Our industry-leading PFAS-free product line helps you stay ahead of regulations, protect your workforce, and reduce environmental impact. All without compromising on performance.

Today, 95% of our lubricant product range is PFAS-free. These lubricants:

  • do not contain PFAS, PTFE, microplastics or nanoparticles
  • comply with REACH, CLP, TSCA and other global standards
  • reduce friction, wear and energy consumption
  • help extend maintenance intervals and equipment life

Innovation in action

Setting the new benchmark

In this short video, Interflon’s experts share the story behind our industry-first PFAS-free innovation. Discover how we spent eight years in the lab, and four more in the field, to develop a lubricant technology that goes beyond PTFE and microplastics.

What are PFAS and why are they a problem?

PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are synthetic chemicals that were once prized for their exceptional resistance to heat, water, and oil. These properties made them widely used in countless applications ranging from consumer products to industrial lubricants. But PFAS are now under intense scrutiny and have become a global environmental and public health concern.

Why the alarm?

PFAS are extremely persistent in the environment. Unlike most substances, they do not degrade naturally. Over time, they accumulate in soil, water systems, and even in the human body. Scientific studies have linked certain PFAS compounds to a range of health risks, including hormonal disruption, immune system suppression, liver damage, and increased risk of some cancers.

Risks for Industry

For industrial operations, the presence of PFAS in lubricants can lead to serious compliance and liability issues. Contaminated waste streams, workplace exposure, and the potential for environmental release put organisations at risk. Not only from a safety and health perspective but also legally and reputationally.

Regulatory pressure is intensifying. In the EU, PFAS are being phased out under REACH and monitored by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is expanding oversight under TSCA. Many jurisdictions are introducing outright bans or severe restrictions.

A safer path forward

To reduce risk and future-proof operations, companies must pivot to safer alternatives. Interflon is leading the way by offering high-performance, PFAS-free lubricants that meet strict regulatory standards while delivering excellent results. Taking proactive steps today protects your workforce, reputation, and bottom line tomorrow.

Sustainability and performance should go hand in hand. By eliminating PFAS from our lubricants and advancing our MicPol technology, we offer industries a high-performance alternative that meets global regulatory standards while minimising environmental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions about PFAS-free lubricants

Yes. Our MicPol®-based lubricants are engineered to deliver superior performance, even under extreme pressure, without the need for PFAS, PTFE, or other harmful additives. 

Our MicPol technology enhances lubrication efficiency:

  • Micronized particles (0.05 - 0.15 microns) fill surface irregularities, ensuring a smooth, protective layer.
  • Polarized particles create a strong adhesion to surfaces, reducing friction and wear.
  • We also engineered a unique base oil enhancement (bonding bridge technology), that improves resistance to extreme pressures.

Yes. Interflon’s PFAS-free lubricants are fully compliant with international and local regulations, including REACH, OSHA, ECHA, CLP and TSCA. For food and beverage manufacturers, we also offer NSF H1 food-grade products, alongside halal, kosher and vegan-certified formulations. This means you can rely on our lubricants not only for technical performance but also for regulatory compliance and audit readiness — wherever you operate.

Transitioning to PFAS-free lubrication doesn’t have to mean downtime or risk. Our technical advisors and lubrication consultants support you step by step:

  • On-site assessments to map your current lubrication points and applications.
  • Product matching to replace existing lubricants with the right PFAS-free alternative.
  • Training and documentation to support maintenance teams and ensure regulatory compliance.

The result? A smooth, compliant changeover with no negative impact on uptime or equipment life, often with measurable cost savings and cleaner operations.. Contact our team for advice
