Lubricants Engineered for Your Application
Lubrication That Stands Up to Aggressive Environments
In petrochemical and chemical plants, lubricants face challenges most industries never encounter. Direct chemical exposure. Aggressive washdowns. Extreme reactor temperatures. Volatile atmospheres. Equipment failure here doesn’t just cost money—it can create safety and environmental emergencies.
Toyo-G provides a specialized portfolio of chemically compatible greases, thermally stable heat transfer fluids, and high-purity compressor oils specifically selected for the unique demands of chemical and petrochemical processing.
Chemical resistance. Thermal stability. Operational safety.

Our Petrochemical & Chemical Product Line
For Pumps, Valves, & Seals (Chemical Exposure Areas)
Toyo-G SO Series – Silicone Grease & Silicone Oil
Application: Valve stems, pump mechanical seal O-rings, instrument fittings, pressure gauge connections, flange seals.
Why it works: Chemically inert and resistant to many aggressive chemicals (acids, bases, solvents). Excellent elastomer compatibility – does not cause swelling or shrinkage of common seal materials (Viton, EPDM, NBR, PTFE). Wide temperature range (-40°C to 200°C+).
Benefit: Protects seals and valves from chemical attack. Prevents leaks and emissions. Reduces fugitive emissions (VOC leaks).
Critical note for your team: Many chemical plants have had seal failures caused by incompatible lubricants. Silicone lubricants (SO Series) are often the safest choice where chemical compatibility is unknown. But always verify with elastomer compatibility chart.
For High-Temperature Heat Transfer Systems (Reactors, Reboilers, Heaters)
Toyo-G TLI Series – Heat Transfer Oil (HTO)
Application: Jacketed reactors, reboilers, distillation column reboilers, thermal fluid heaters, storage tank heating coils.
Why it works: Excellent thermal stability – resists coking and sludge formation at high operating temperatures (up to 320°C+ in closed systems). High flash point for safety. Low viscosity at low temperatures for easy start-up. Extended fluid life.
Benefit: Reliable, efficient heat transfer. Reduced shutdowns for fluid replacement. Lower risk of heater coking and tube failure.
For Process Gas Compressors (Hydrogen, Ethylene, Natural Gas, etc.)
Toyo-G TLI Series – Compressor Oil (CO)
Application: Reciprocating and rotary screw compressors handling hydrocarbon gases, hydrogen, ethylene, propylene, natural gas, and other process gases.
Why it works: Excellent deposit control – minimizes carbon and varnish formation on hot valves, pistons, and discharge lines. Good chemical stability in gas environments. Good water separability. Extended oil drain intervals.
Benefit: Longer compressor runtime between valve cleaning and overhauls. Lower maintenance costs. Reduced risk of unscheduled shutdowns.
For Pump & Compressor Bearings (Critical Rotating Equipment)
Toyo-G EAJ Series – Aluminium Complex Grease
Application: Centrifugal pump bearings, compressor bearings, blower bearings, fan bearings, agitator bearings (top entry mixers).
Why it works: High dropping point (260°C+) for high-temperature applications. Excellent water resistance – survives chemical washdowns and plant cleaning. Outstanding corrosion protection against humidity and mild chemical exposure. Good extreme pressure (EP) properties.
Benefit: Extends bearing life in harsh environments. Reduces regreasing frequency. Less downtime.
For General Plant Equipment (Conveyors, Gearboxes, Hydraulics)
Toyo-G TLI Series – Hydraulic Oil (HO AWS / HO HLP)
Application: Hydraulic power units (chemical feed systems, actuated valves, material handling), plant hydraulic systems.
Why it works: High anti-wear (AWS) protection. Excellent thermal stability. Good water separability and filterability. Oxidation resistant.
Benefit: Reliable hydraulic system performance. Reduced valve and pump wear.
Toyo-G TLI Series – Industrial Gear Oil (IGO / IGBO)
Application: Gearboxes on conveyors, agitators, mixers, cooling tower fans, and other plant auxiliary equipment.
Why it works: Excellent extreme pressure (EP) and anti-wear protection. Good thermal stability. Good rust and corrosion protection. Demulsible (water separating).
Benefit: Protects gearboxes in demanding environments. Reduces gear and bearing wear.
For Electric Motor Bearings (Plant-Wide Auxiliary Motors)
Toyo-G EAJ Series – Polyurea Grease
Application: Electric motor bearings on pumps, fans, blowers, compressors, conveyors, and other plant auxiliary equipment.
Why it works: Long-life polyurea thickener – excellent mechanical stability. Wide operating temperature range. Good high-temperature stability. Extended regreasing intervals.
Benefit: Standardized grease across plant electric motors. Reduced inventory. Lower maintenance frequency.
For Corrosive/Dirty Environments (Atmospheric Exposure)
Toyo-G EAJ Series – Calcium Sulfonate Complex Grease
Application: Outdoor equipment exposed to weather and chemical plant atmosphere (crane bearings, hoist gears, cable sheaves, conveyor bearings in corrosive areas).
Why it works: Superior extreme pressure (EP) performance. Excellent water and saltwater resistance. Outstanding corrosion protection – even in corrosive atmospheres. High dropping point (260°C+).
Benefit: Protects equipment in the most exposed areas of chemical plants. Reduces corrosion-related failures.
