At Lubechem Consultant, we specialize in formulating custom additive packages for a wide range of lubricants — including engine oils, hydraulic fluids, gear oils, and metalworking fluids — tailored to meet specific API, ACEA, and OEM standards.
What Are Additive Packages?
Additive packages are complex blends of chemical components that, when added to base oils, deliver critical properties like anti-wear protection, thermal stability, and oxidation resistance. Our custom formulations typically include:
Detergents & Dispersants – for cleaner engines and deposit control
ZDDP – anti-wear and oxidation protection
VI Improvers – maintain viscosity across temperatures
Corrosion Inhibitors & Demulsifier – ensure long-term protection
Foam Inhibitors – improve lubricant system stability
At Lubechem Consultant, we help you create optimized, cost-effective additive systems designed for performance and compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is an additive package in lubricants?
An additive package is a concentrated chemical blend added to base oils to improve or add specific performance properties — such as wear protection, thermal stability, rust prevention, etc.
Can your additive packages meet API standards?
Yes. Our formulations are designed to meet or exceed API SN, CK-4, GL-5, HM, HLP and similar industry standards. We align with international specifications.
How are your services different from companies like Afton or Lubrizol?
We offer customized, cost-effective, and transparent formulation consultancy, without pushing ready-made packages. You gain flexibility and supplier independence.
Will you help with sourcing additive components?
Absolutely. We help identify trusted additive suppliers in your region (India and abroad), ensuring quality components and fair pricing.
5. Do you offer ongoing support?
Yes. From lab testing to scale-up and even during field trials — our consultants stay involved throughout the process.
