Beyond the pre-flight checklist: Why specialised lubricants are critical for aviation safety

In aviation, the pre-flight checklist is rightly seen as a sacred ritual. True aviation safety is built into the aircraft long before that check, right down to the fluids running through its systems. Our experience supplying the aviation sector has shown us that specialised lubricants are one of the most critical, non-negotiable components of a safe flight.

Aircraft operate in a world of extremes. Our deep expertise extends to vital systems like hydraulics, where supplying the correct fluid, be it Skydrol or a specific MIL-spec oil, is paramount, as a mistake could lead to system failure. These specialised lubricants are engineered to perform under incredible stress, protecting everything from the engines to the landing gear.

There is simply no room for error. Using anything but the most rigorously tested aviation lubricants isn’t an option. We take our role in this supply chain incredibly seriously, ensuring our partners get the reliable, high-quality products they depend on. It’s a responsibility built on a deep respect for the demands of aviation safety.
