Description

Thermal-Lube Inc., founded in Montreal, Qué., in October 1983, is a privately owned Canadian company in the business of researching, developing, manufacturing and marketing specialty lubricants, performance additives, and analytical lubricant monitoring equipment. The company's policy of reacting to the needs of its customers and keeping up to date with the latestenvironmental demands of Canada has enabled Thermal-Lube to manufacture and sell a complete product line of high quality, environmentally friendly, synthetic oils, greases andadditives to industrial and retail markets world-wide.


Thermal-Lube has always made a serious commitment to the research and development of new lubricants and views R&D as an integral part of its future. Governmental recognition of thiscommitment has resulted in the company receiving numerous R&D assistance grants from both the Federal and Provincial governments in support of the many research projects completed overthe past ten years. Thermal-Lube's continuing practice of investing substantial resources towards research and development while simultaneously expanding into new markets has been the key tothe company's past successes and will be a major factor in insuring future growth.

Thermal-Lube has been working in partnership with McGill University to develop the COAT® System, a Continuous Oil Analysis and Treatment system. The COAT® System is designed to optimize the efficiency of a lubricating oil by continuously monitoring the condition of the oil and automatically replenishing performance enhancing additives to the oil hence extending the service life. The COAT® System is made to suit customers' need. Thermal-Lube received an honorable mention from the University-Industry Synergy R&D Partnerships for the work done in collaboration with McGill University.


Thermal-Lube is becoming well known in Asia, as it has four joint venture companies in China manufacturing and distributing its specialty lubricant products. A COAT® System was alsorecently sold to Korea's largest refinery. Now Thermal-Lube focuses on the Japanese market where great interest in Thermal-Lube's products is being shown.

Research grants were awarded by the CNRC (Canadian National
Research Council) for the development of our COAT System
(see web site). We have also received grants from Environment
Canada, and NSERC (Natural Sciences & Engineering Research
Council) for further development of the same product.

In 1997 we received "Honourable Mention" award for Best Practices in University-Industry R&D Partnerships. This was sponsored by the Conference Board of Canada & NSERC. We were awarded a patent for the COAT System in 1998.
