Oil- and grease-free or LABS-free components for maximum cleanliness, safety and process quality

In many industrial sectors, such as the automotive and food industries or in medical, chemical and pharmaceutical engineering, the highest cleanliness requirements for mechanical components are essential. Oil- and grease-free or LABS-free components are necessary to maximise production success and guarantee trouble-free painting and bonding processes or clean room assemblies and flawless end products. TRI-MATIC offers suitable solutions for this: Learn more about oil- and grease-free and LABS-free components and their typical areas of application here.

Oil- and grease-free components: definition, areas of application and advantages

Oil- and grease-free components are components that do not contain any residues of oils, greases or other lubricants. They are cleaned in such a way that their surfaces are absolutely clean and free of organic contaminants.

TRI-MATIC's oil- and grease-free components undergo controlled cleaning in our company's own ultrasonic bath. This removes all residues of lubricants, greases and production residues.

Typical areas of application for oil- and grease-free components are:

  • Analysis and measurement technology
  • Semiconductor and electronics industry
  • Pneumatic systems in clean rooms to prevent particles and organic residues
  • Food and beverage industry, where LABS-free is not required
  • Medical technology

Your advantages with oil- and grease-free components from TRI-MATIC:

Fast availability thanks to internal cleaning in the company's own ultrasonic bath
Reproducible quality and documented processes
Prevention of contamination in sensitive systems

LABS-free components: definition, areas of application and advantages

LABS stands for paint wetting interfering substances. LABS-free components are therefore components that are free of paint wetting interfering substances (LABS). These substances include, for example, silicones, certain oils, waxes, release agents, surfactants and fluorinated compounds. When painting surfaces, these substances can cause problems such as cratering, blistering or uneven wetting.

In industries such as the automotive and electrical industries, in mechanical engineering or in sensitive painting processes, the use of LABS-free components is absolutely essential. TRI-MATIC supplies such components in cooperation with specialised partners who have the appropriate testing procedures.

Typical areas of application for LABS-free components are:

Automotive industry in painting lines and assembly areas

Mechanical and plant engineering with downstream painting processes

Electrical industry with high surface sensitivity

Clean room and coating applications

Aerospace

Medical, chemical and pharmaceutical technology

Your advantages with LABS-free components from TRI-MATIC:

  1. Reliable exclusion of substances that interfere with paint wetting
  2. Prevention of painting errors and quality losses
  3. Delivery of tested LABS-free products
  4. TRI-MATIC as your central contact for procurement, testing and documentation

We are your reliable partner for completely clean, oil- and grease-free components without lubricant residues and LABS-free, paint-compatible components with the highest cleanliness requirements. We would be happy to advise you individually on your application and show you which cleaning solutions are best suited to your requirements.
