From Europe to Asia – microGLEIT – Customizing Water Based Lubricants.
Microgleit Spezialschmierstoffe GmbH is a German manufacturer dedicated to water-based lubricants. Its products are widely used for lubricating automotive, aerospace, windmill, construction fasteners, hydro forming and robotic arms components. In 2006 it authorized Asia Technical Services to establish microGLEIT Technology Company for its exclusive sales, operation, and info service center in Asia. At the beginning, microGLEIT focused on fastener applications. It has recently put more efforts in developing lubricating and dry-film products for hydro forming parts.
Excellent Customization Appreciated by European Automotive Industry
microGLEIT water-based lubricants are compliant with fastener lubrication regulations. In addition to regulation of fastener lubricant in widespread use, microGLEIT also offers lubricant customization service for the applications of robotic arms, hydro forming parts, or applications such as in high temperature/pressure workplaces (e.g. lubricant designed for aluminum alloy fasteners, also used by VW and BMW). With concerns on environment protection and efficient management, microGLEIT products are RoHS compliant, easy to use, and recyclable. Such a well-arranged procedure provides users with more efficient processes and economical control.
High-end Manufacturing and R&D Boost Innovation and Upgrade of Products
According to different lubrication demand of automotive industries for components and fasteners, microGLEIT continues to devote itself to the R&D of lubricants as per standard or demand, which can be testified via SCHATZ torque/clamping force analysis system. Meanwhile, microGLEIT keeps upgrading its manufacturing facilities to produce finer lubricating grease and cooperating with coating suppliers for product R&D. In the cause of extending professional assistance in water-based lubrication and promoting the advantages of products applied to various fields, for example, lubricating fasteners after zinc-nickel alloy or phosphate treatment is being tested by microGLEIT, which is expected to release related products by mid 2014.
Being Admired by Clients
Substantial Expansion in Asia
Being developed and tested in Europe, products of microGLEIT always show their performance and reliability widely admired by clients. In Asia where manufacturers are key players in the market, microGLEIT is a newcomer. Through media exposure and times of product experience, products of microGLEIT can be recognized quickly by more experienced users.

With a stable support from customers in North America and Japan, microGLEIT arranges comprehensive services to satisfy more category. In the future, microGLEIT will focus on streamlining products in each segment, flexible in strategic development to meet customers’ requests.
Importance of Lubricants
The influence of lubrication performance in fastening can be seen from feature of Torque/Clamping force≒μ
For example, using 100 Nm force to fasten a M12 bolt with different friction coefficient, the clamping force has 8% differences. To use a proper lubricant could provide stable performance and apply in various fields.
