Frequently asked
questions.

Lubechem Additives is the lubricant additives supply business under Lubechem Group. We supply engine oil, gear oil, hydraulic, grease, industrial, and marine additive packages — domestically across India and to twenty-plus export markets.

We are an additive supplier with direct manufacturer relationships and in-house QC verification. We do not operate our own additive synthesis plant. Every drum we ship is sourced from a named, qualified manufacturer with full lot-level traceability.

Delhi NCR, India — Plot no. 525D, Kotla Vihar Phase 2, Tilangpur Kotla, New Delhi 110043. Stocking points in Delhi NCR with dispatch to ports of Nhava Sheva and Mundra for export.

Both are units of Lubechem Group. Lubechem Consultant has been India's independent lubricant formulation R&D consultancy since 2010. Lubechem Additives is the supply business, launched to commercialize the chemistry our consulting team had been working with for over a decade.

Six categories: engine oil additives (DI packages, ZDDP, dispersants, detergents, VII, FM, AO, PPD), gear oil additives (GL-4, GL-5, MT-1, industrial CLP), hydraulic oil additives (AW, R&O, VII), grease additives (EP, tackifiers, solids, AO, CI), industrial additives (compressor, turbine, MWF), and marine additives (cylinder oil, TPEO, system oil).

Both. We supply complete DI packages for most lubricant categories, and we also supply individual additive components for blenders who manage their own formulation.

Yes. Every additive comes with a published TDS (typical performance properties). Every shipment ships with a lot-specific COA (measured values for key parameters from the actual delivered lot).

Yes. Our PCMO and HDD DI packages are calibrated against BIS IS 13656 finished-oil tests. Our parent consulting business regularly runs BIS approval samples for customer blenders, so our calibration is real-world validated.

We supply DI packages calibrated for API SP, ILSAC GF-6, ACEA A3/B4 and C3 finished-oil targets. Specific OEM approval pathways (e.g. MB 229.x, VW 502 00, Volvo VDS-4.5) typically require chemistry sourced from the global additive majors; we can supply and integrate those as part of a hybrid package.

For most commodity categories (PCMO, HDD, MCO, industrial), our treat rates are within 5–10 % of the typical imported package. For some categories we run slightly higher; for others, slightly lower. We share calibration data on enquiry so you can model finished-oil cost accurately.

API Group I, II, II+, III, IV (PAO), and selected Group V (esters). We hold compatibility data for each major DI package and can advise on base oil substitution.

Yes, for volume customers. We can build a custom DI package against your finished-oil spec — adjusting detergent type, dispersant load, ZDDP variant, VII chemistry — and supply it as a single pre-blended additive.

Domestically: 200 kg (one drum) for most additives. Export: 5000 kg (LCL part-shipment) or one FCL container (~18 MT for bulk tanker).

Domestic bulk: 5–7 business days from order confirmation. Export: 3–6 weeks ex-works depending on order size and packaging. Samples: 48 hours domestic, 5–10 days international by courier.

Domestic: advance, 30-day credit (subject to credit review), NEFT/RTGS. Export: TT advance, TT against documents, LC at sight for established customers.

Yes. We dispatch 1–5 kg evaluation samples within 48 hours of an approved enquiry. Sample is supplied free for genuine evaluation; we ask that customers cover courier costs for international destinations.

Yes. Mutual NDA is signed before any formulation-specific technical discussion. Standard NDA template available, or we can sign yours.

Active export markets: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Egypt, South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia. We can ship to most other jurisdictions on request.

Commercial invoice, packing list, COA, MSDS/SDS (UN GHS 16-section), Certificate of Origin (Chamber/DGFT), HS code letter, Bill of Lading, and country-specific documents (REACH letter for EU, K-REACH support, etc.) where applicable.

EXW (ex-works), FOB (Indian port), CIF, CFR, DAP. CIF is the most common term for first-time export customers.

200-litre mild steel or HDPE drums, 1000-litre composite IBCs, or 20'/24' ISO tankers for bulk. All packaging UN-rated where the chemistry requires it. Container packing optimized for destination port handling.
