Case Studies

Most of our work is carried out on a confidential basis or under NDA agreements as our lubricants and chemicals are utilised inside other manufacturers device/end products; but we always try to publish case studies in order to highlight the variety of industry sectors and applications we are involved in.

Below are some of the case studies we have managed to pull together. We are always interested in collaborating with customers to ‘problem solve’ their device or design problem.
