We often see steel chains and cables as low complexity elements, and widely used for a large number of applications.

This simple (but not so simple) mechanical element represents a major challenge for tribology. Just imagine that the lubricant must be fluid enough to ensure penetration to the internal components of the chain, such as the rollers and bushings, which is where friction and wear really occur, but at the same time sufficiently polar and /or adherent enough to remain lubricated without spilling or generating a lack of lubricant, really places us in a very complex task.

This complexity is added to an extreme variety of environmental conditions, from contaminants such as water and solid particles, to extreme cold conditions to chains inside ovens with very high temperatures, and where LAAPSA works on permanent reengineering of its products to ensure that this difficult task is a simple solution for all companies that decide to maximize the useful life of their mechanical elements.

All this research and development work, added to the experience that only a company with our history in special lubricants can achieve, results in the following complete product portfolio:
