Custom greases

SEQENS is a specialist of calcium sulfonate custom greases. With our unique and flexible synthesis route, we provide innovative solutions to our customers to make them stand out in the market.

Overbased calcium sulfonate to design high-performance custom greases 

Extend your offer with unique high-tech greases

SEQENS calcium sulfonate greases stand out from conventional greases with their standout compositions and their high performances in extreme conditions. Our unique production process is a key advantage for customizing greases with very specific and advanced features. We offer you the possibility to choose the best-fitted carrier, should it be a mineral, vegetable, or synthetic base oil.

Kelico® range

Based on calcium carbonate sulfonate technology, SEQENS greases exhibit outstanding resistance to corrosion as well as excellent extreme pressure and antiwear properties, without any additives. Their thermal and mechanical stability are key advantages for special applications with extreme conditions including warm and very moist atmospheres. SEQENS products outperform other types of complex greases in many ways. Their performances can be enhanced with supplementary additives.

Our latest development – KELICO® V range – opens the door to biodegradable calcium sulfonate greases.

KELICO® V products enable the lubricants’ manufacturers to formulate environmentally acceptable lubricants with exceptional performances.

According to numerous industry standards, KELICO® V ester-based overbased calcium sulfonate greases are defined as biodegradable, non-bioaccumulative and non-toxic to aquatic species which makes them suitable candidates for applications where EALs are required. KELICO® V overbased calcium sulfonate greases are premium greases for high load and high temperature applications, suitable for extreme environment and particularly adapted for marine applications thanks to their resistance to water and their intrinsic anticorrosion performances.

SEQENS successfully addresses the challenges faced by industry, relying on a dedicated R&D team and a performance testing laboratory. We have developed a solid ability to undertake and effectively carry out custom developments from kilo-lab to industrial scale, through a close collaboration between customers and Seqens sales, R&D and production teams.

Our customers rely on our long-standing expertise, our reactivity and our flexibility to ensure a shortened length of development and industrialization projects. As a global player, SEQENS has implemented the appropriate organization to fully comply with worldwide regulations in the field of chemical safety, transportation and customs.

Extreme Pressure additives

Formulate Environmentally friendly lubricants thanks to our SULFAD® light-colored and low odor sulfurized extreme pressure additives.

 

SEQENS offers an extended range of additives and packages which have been developed to suit the needs of metalworking applications. With an ever-expanding global footprint and a flexible supply chain, we enable our clients to adapt to brand new challenges.

Redesign your formulae with our performance additives. SEQENS offers an extensive range of lubricant additives for metalworking fluids and industrial lubricants. Our product portfolio encompasses extreme pressure, anti-wear additives, corrosion inhibitors and emulsifiers.

We also manufacture ready-to-use packages which feature beneficial additive synergies identified through DoE approach (Design of Experiments). Our customers hence increase the performance of their formulated products while reducing the number of listed raw materials.
Therefore, SULFAD 1710E, SULFAD 1711E and SULFAD 1523E are the best candidates for use in lubricant formulations complying with the European Ecolabel.

Antiwear additives

Adjust metalworking fluid and industrial lubricants performances thanks to ROSCAN® antiwear additives. 

SEQENS’ antiwear additives are used to improve wear resistance and reduce the friction coefficient of lubricants. They are based on phosphorus chemistry. They are either phosphite or phosphate esters.

  • ROSCAN® 607 (CAS number 78-42-2)dedicated to neat metalworking fluids formulations has a synergistic effect with SULFAD® Extreme Pressure additives, enabling to obtain high antiwear performance of the final lubricant.
  • ROSCAN® 6253NV (CAS number 64051-29-2)is a readily biodegradable light colored and ashless phosphite antiwear additive recommended for metalworking applications and industrial lubricants.
  • ROSCAN® 6214 (CAS number 68610-62-8) is a biosourced tri C12/C14-alkyl phosphite, free of chlorine, phenol and sulfur.

Emulsifiers & corrosion inhibitors

  • Sodium sulfonate additives LOSMA®

SEQENS offers sodium sulfonate emulsifiers, that are proven to be effective in water-based formulations, due to their high performances and their versatility.

Sodium sulfonates have a dual function, combining emulsification and rust inhibition properties. They are ideal candidates for soluble oils and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids. Based on special alkyl-aryl sulfonic acids, the higher molecular weight sodium sulfonates give better corrosion protection and inverse emulsifying properties.

From 420 to 670 g/mol molecular weight, LOSMA range offers a wide variety of formula adjustments options.

  • Packages LOSMA®

SEQENS offers boron and secondary amine-free packages for corrosion and rust prevention. Intended for water soluble metalworking fluids, they are particularly suitable for milky emulsions or semi-synthetic fluids.

  • LOSMA 4100 is an anticorrosion package for ferrous metals
  • LOSMA 4200 is an anticorrosion package for aluminium alloys
  • LOSMA 4150 is an anticorrosion and emulsification package for ferrous metals
