LTEC is the A+B Group's specialist line dedicated to chemical products, lubricants and detergents for mechanical workshops. Designed in A+B laboratories, LTEC combines high-performance formulations with a strong focus on operational safety and environmental sustainability.
Main Product Range
Here are the main areas and products offered by LTEC:
- Minimal lubrication systems (‘Micro Drop’)These control units and accessories allow the application of minimal amounts of lubricant during machining, stamping or cold forming. They use fluids from renewable sources.
- Detergents, solvents and products for surface preparation and cleaningTo remove grease, oil and residues, and prepare surfaces for painting or gluing. Tested formulations, with attention to the effects on the operator.
- Industrial vacuum cleaners and fluid/residue managementLTEC offers solutions for vacuuming chips, oils and debris, improving cleanliness, safety and maintenance.
- Compressed air coolersExample: DELTA 40 TURBO KOMPACT model, used to maintain controlled temperatures during machining, improving tool life.
- Protective packaging (VCI) and anti-corrosion productsVCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors) bags or films that protect metal components from oxidation during storage or transport.
Advantages of LTEC over Link Industrial Tools
- ‘Green’ and biocompatible formulations: renewable fluids, lower environmental impact, greater safety for the operator.
- Innovation and Research & Development within the A+B group, with a dedicated laboratory that carries out in-depth testing and analysis.
- Practical products for industrial use: control units, lubrication solutions, maintenance chemicals, all designed to withstand the harsh workshop environment.
- Improved operational efficiency: less downtime for cleaning, less lubricant waste, fewer extraordinary maintenance interventions.
Ideal applications
LTEC is ideal for:
- Mechanical workshops that work with difficult materials, where traditional lubrication is costly or inefficient.
- High-turnover/medium-batch production, where savings on lubricant and cleaning translate into real savings.
- Sectors where operational safety and operator health are paramount (reduction of mists, vapours, contact with aggressive chemicals).
- Applications where component protection during storage or transport is important, using VCI packaging.
FAQs about LTEC
1. What does “minimal lubrication” mean with LTEC?
It is a system that applies lubricant in very small quantities, only at the point of contact between the tool and the workpiece, often using a micro pump + compressed air, reducing waste, mist, risks and consumption.
2. Does LTEC offer fluids from renewable bases or only traditional products?
Yes: a significant part of LTEC formulations is developed on renewable bases, with attention to environmental impact and operator safety.
3. What is the advantage of using LTEC VCI packaging?
They protect metals from corrosion during storage or transport, without the need for heavy oils; compatible with other oily/waxy protective agents. Typical duration: 36 months in a closed environment, 24 months if exposed.
4. How does the DELTA 40 TURBO KOMPACT compressed air cooler work?
It is a device that uses compressed air to produce separate flows of hot and cold air to cool the tool or work area. It is made of corrosion-resistant materials and can be installed with brackets or magnets.
5. Is LTEC also suitable for daily maintenance applications/small workshops?
Yes: many LTEC products (detergents, lubricants, protective packaging) are also useful for small to medium-sized workshops, thanks to their format, ease of use and lack of need for large investments.
