We help businesses streamline their lubrication strategies, reduce emissions, and cut maintenance waste, backed by real-world data and measurable results. We offer a unique range of high-performance lubricants, cleaners and hardware. Unlike conventional petrochemical lubricants, our products are fortified with high performance additives and MicPol® particles, which form a solid, ultra-thin, long-lasting lubrication film at the lowest friction. This makes them especially effective in the adverse conditions found in the land and water courses owned and worked on by SLE members.
