Specialty lubricants for defense forces
NYCO’s lubricants portfolio for military applications, although primarily based on synthetic esters products, also includes a range of mineral oils. The high thermal stability, low volatility and the outstanding low temperature fluidity of the synthetic basestocks account for their selection in the formulation of lubricants for equipment operating over a very wide range of temperatures including extremes of low and high temperature.
Our unique range of military products contains more than 160 different products, used in various applications in all three armed forces: army, air force and navy. NYCO products are approved by the major European and American military authorities such as the US Department of Defense and the British, French, Belgium, German and Italian Ministries of Defense.
For almost 30 years NYCO has also been developing substitutes for the lubricants manufactured in Russia, according to the relevant original specifications. Therefore today, through a continuing cooperation with the local authorities, NYCO is the sole manufacturer able to offer a complete range of products for applications on Russian/Ukraine-made as well as US/European-made military equipment.
