Environmentally acceptable lubricants
Wanted: Partners helping drive a sustainable future
Your job is big, and so is your responsibility. If you’re looking to elevate sustainability practices for your business and for the industry, we have an opportunity to help lead the way.
Komatsu has partnered with vendors to create environmentally acceptable lubricants (EALs) that meet established EPA standards without sacrificing performance.
Test an environmentally acceptable lubricant on your electric rope shovel
You can be in the forefront of an impactful leap forward in sustainable mining practices by field-testing new formulations of open gear lubricants and multi-purpose grease. By replacing mineral-based lubricants, they neutralize the potential impact of oils and greases that shed, leak or spill into the environment.
Help us take environmentally acceptable mining lubricants to a new level
You can help us advance sustainable mining by evaluating new environmentally acceptable formulations of open gear lubricants and multipurpose grease. They replace mineral-based lubricants and neutralize the potential impact of oils and greases that shed, leak or spill into the environment.
Be a pioneer and help us evaluate EALs
We have developed new EALs as part of our sustainability commitment and are seeking partners to put them through real-world paces — specifically on electric rope shovels. These new, more environmentally sensitive formulations have met all Komatsu’s standards in our rigorous testing protocols and are ready for the field.

Sustainability is an ever-growing priority for our industry. While most of the focus has been on reducing emissions and driving fuel efficiency, operations are growing in their awareness of site stewardship and pushing for more environmentally sensitive lubricants.
