270+ engineered additive packages — Detergent-Inhibitor systems, ZDDP anti-wear, polymeric VIIs, EP chemistries, overbased marine sulfonates — designed in our R&D lab, manufactured to ISO 9001, calibrated against API, ACEA, JASO, BIS and OEM specs. Faster than the Western giants. More technical than the Indian importers.
From engine oil DI packages and ZDDP anti-wear chemistry to EV transmission fluid additives and IMO 2020 marine cylinder oils — Lubechem manufactures the full lubricant formulation stack. Each category is a discipline; our chemists own all eight.

The global additive majors each sell ~120–200 product codes spanning the full lubricant matrix. Our 285+ codes span the same matrix — engineered in India, manufactured in India, calibrated for Indian and emerging-market OEM platforms. Whether you formulate a 5W-30 PCMO, a soluble cutting fluid or a polyurea grease — we make the chemistry.

Lubechem Additives is the manufacturing arm of Lubechem Group — India's independent lubricant formulation R&D consultancy since 2010. Most additive suppliers in India source from a Western house and re-sell. We do the opposite: fifteen years of formulating finished oils against API, ACEA, JASO and BIS test rigs taught us exactly what each treat rate needs to deliver — and we engineered our additive packages to deliver it.
Every Lubechem package is characterised by atomic emission, FTIR, viscometry, and bench-scale test rigs in our Delhi NCR lab before it ships. Every drum carries a lot-specific COA and a calibration window for treat rate against base oil group. We don't sell a product number — we ship a working chemistry with the formulator's data behind it.
Blenders and OEMs come back because we deliver the technical depth they would expect from a top-tier global additive house — and ship it from Delhi NCR in 5 days at a 15–22% landed-cost saving.
Our parent consultancy has formulated 500+ finished oils against BIS, API, ACEA approval rigs. Our additive packages are engineered backward from a passing test result, not assembled from a vendor spec sheet.
Most of our PCMO & HDD DI packages run 8–12% lower in treat rate than published specs — calibrated against real BIS/API test data. You ship a tighter formulation cost without compromising approval.
Every enquiry routes to a chemist within 4 business hours. Evaluation samples (1–5 kg, full TDS + COA) couriered within 48 hours. Bulk dispatch in 5–7 days. The Western houses take weeks.
API SP/SN, ACEA A3/B4 & C3, JASO MA2, BIS IS 13656, GL-4/GL-5/MT-1, DIN 51517-3, IMO 2020 — every package is bench-tested against the spec it claims, with calibration data on file for blender audits.
Six end-use sectors with their own performance demands, regulations and OEM specifications. Pick yours.
No back-and-forth. No vague timelines. Every project follows the same disciplined flow.
Share your formulation, target spec or finished product. We respond within 4 business hours with a technical brief.
Our formulation team recommends the right additive chemistry, treat rate and base oil compatibility window for your application.
Lab-scale samples couriered within 48 hours with full TDS and COA. You blend, test and validate against your spec.
Production orders confirmed, dispatched in 5–7 business days. Drums, IBCs or bulk tankers — domestic or export.
Most of our customers came in for one trial order. They stayed because the chemistry behaved exactly as the TDS promised.
Their DI package gave us a consistent BIS pass on the first batch — and the treat rate was 8% lower than the import we were running. Honest technical conversations, no upselling.
We were importing grease additives from Italy. Lubechem matched the spec, delivered in 6 days from order and reduced our landed cost by roughly 17%. Documentation was airtight for our African export customers.
Their team understood our hydraulic OEM approval cycle and suggested a zinc-free AW package that passed Eaton 35VQ25 first time. That technical depth is rare in India's additive supply market.
Send us your spec or existing formulation. We'll come back within 4 business hours with technical commentary and a treat-rate recommendation — no obligation.
Working notes from our chemists — practical insights for formulators, blenders and procurement teams.
An additive doesn't just "improve" a lubricant — it engineers a specific molecular outcome. Here's how to think about the eight major families.
