Freudenberg-NOK Sealing Technologies introduces FN Lube and FN Lube Plus

Plymouth, MI – Freudenberg-NOK Sealing Technologies has introduced FN Lube and FN Lube Plus, two purpose-designed lubricants formulated with the support of Klueber Lubrication. Klueber Lubrication is a full subsidiary of Freudenberg Chemical Specialties and has been part of the Freudenberg Group since 1966. Headquartered in Munich, Germany, Klueber Lubrication brings specialized expertise in high-performance lubricant formulation and application knowledge. FN Lube and FN Lube Plus were developed specifically for static seals, especially O-rings, and were validated through laboratory testing to ensure material compatibility, reduce installation friction and minimize impact on elastomer properties.
The development of FN Lube and FN Lube Plus reflects a focus on ensuring consistency and reliability during seal installation. Klueber Lubrication’s formulation expertise supports compatibility between lubricants and elastomer materials, helping to minimize installation risk and support stable sealing performance across a wide range of static sealing applications.
Designed for use with various elastomer types, FN Lube and FN Lube Plus demonstrated strong retention of tensile strength and elongation during internal testing. These results indicate that both lubricants help limit changes to material properties, reduce installation risks and support stable sealing performance over time. FN Lube and FN Lube Plus are available exclusively through Freudenberg-NOK Sealing Technologies’ North American distributor network and are fully integrated into the company’s digital catalog and PartnerHUB platform.
“Customers depend on us for static sealing solutions that perform reliably,” said Paul Czajkowski, Regional Sales Director, Freudenberg-NOK Sealing Technologies. “By combining our sealing expertise with Klueber Lubrication’s lubricant formulation knowledge, FN Lube and FN Lube Plus offer a practical, application-focused option that helps protect O-rings during installation and supports long-term material stability.”
“As part of Freudenberg’s culture of Innovating Together, Klueber Lubrication was pleased to contribute its formulation expertise to help bring new O-ring and seal assembly lubricants to the market,” said Steve Tompkins, Business Development Manager, Global Industry Team, Klueber Lubrication Components. “After reviewing the requirements, our engineers and R and D chemists quickly identified the appropriate chemistries to ensure compatibility with the selected elastomers and deliver reliable assembly performance. Helping OEM partners optimize lubrication solutions is at the core of what we do, and we look forward to supporting Freudenberg-NOK Sealing Technologies as they introduce FN Lube and FN Lube Plus to the market.”
The introduction of FN Lube and FN Lube Plus reflects Freudenberg-NOK Sealing Technologies’ approach to providing system-level sealing solutions. The lubricants support the company’s holistic sealing system philosophy by complementing sealing materials with lubrication expertise from within the Freudenberg Group. Following the North American launch, Freudenberg-NOK Sealing Technologies will continue distributor training, digital integration and customer education to support market adoption.
