Mining & Construction
For equipment used in mining and construction applications, it's all about Up Time. Nothing can derail operating schedules and budgets like having valuable equipment down for repairs. This is no easy task with equipment often exposed to harsh conditions such as wide ranging ambient and operating temperatures, dust and dirt, rain and snow, and extreme loads and pressures. Proper lubricant selection and performance is critical to keeping your equipment running while minimizing maintenance costs and helping ensure worker safety. LANXESS offers a range of high performance Base Fluids, Specialty Additives used every day in these challenging environments.
