Lofrix underwent five years of rigorous comparative and environmental testing, including assessments of wear, corrosion, and friction. The results exceeded industry standards, leading to its formal approval for use.
For over 12 years, BAE Systems (formerly British Aerospace) has successfully used Lofrix in its Eurofighter Typhoonfleet. As a leading global defence and aerospace company, BAE Systems operates in highly demanding environments where reliability is critical.
The long-term use of Lofrix in these aircraft demonstrates its ability to perform consistently under extreme conditions while helping to reduce wear and maintain performance.
Wind turbine reliability is a key challenge for operators such as Scottish Power, particularly in gearbox systems where high loads and constant stress can lead to friction, heat build-up, and wear.
Lofrix Windpower, a specialist friction inhibitor, was applied to turbines showing early signs of failure. Within one hour, operating temperatures dropped by around 6°C, and the turbines continued to operate reliably, avoiding the predicted failures. With millions of operational hours in wind turbines, Lofrix has a proven track record in demanding environments.
As a major UK renewable energy provider, Scottish Power operates in conditions where efficiency and reliability are critical. The sustained performance of Lofrix demonstrates its ability to reduce wear, maintain oil quality, and support long-term turbine operation.
Energy use and maintenance costs are key challenges for companies such as CEMEX, where heavy equipment operates under constant load and stress. Gearboxes in clay processing are especially prone to wear, leading to repairs and downtime.
Lofrix® was added to the gearbox oil during a routine rebuild of a high-power clay extruder. Following treatment, energy consumption fell by over 5%, and inspections showed no signs of metal wear or component damage.
As a global building materials leader, CEMEX operates in demanding conditions where reliability is critical. The use of Lofrix® helped reduce maintenance, extend equipment life, and lower operating costs.
