Product documents and technical support
Find the information behind every responsible recommendation.
A controlled resource centre for LubeMax technical data sheets, safety data sheets, catalogues, application guides and product-support information for Nigeria and regional markets.
Choose the right resource
Different documents answer different questions.
Use the document designed for the decision you are making. A product catalogue provides an overview, a TDS supports technical evaluation, and an SDS provides essential safety, handling and emergency information.
Technical Data Sheets
Product applications, benefits, equivalent performance references and typical physical characteristics.
Safety Data Sheets
Hazard identification, handling, storage, exposure control, first aid, firefighting and disposal information.
Product Catalogue
A structured overview of the LubeMax portfolio, product families, applications and available pack information.
Application Guides
Practical selection, handling, storage, maintenance and troubleshooting guidance for common equipment needs.
Technical document directory
Organised by product family and document type.
Use the directory below to identify the right technical resource for each LubeMax product family. Current TDS and SDS documents are available on request while direct download links are added to the library.

How to read a TDS
Use the document as evidence, not decoration.
A technical data sheet should help a buyer or engineer determine whether a product merits further evaluation for an application.
- Product description
What the lubricant is and the broad application category it serves. - Applications
Where the product is intended to be used and any important limits. - Performance information
Documented service categories, claims or test references relevant to the product. - Typical characteristics
Representative physical properties such as viscosity, density, flash point or consistency. - Revision information
The issue date or revision identifier used to confirm that the document is current.
How to use an SDS
Make safety information accessible before work begins.
The safety data sheet supports risk assessment, training, storage, handling and emergency response. It should be available to the people who receive, transfer, store and use the product.
- Match the exact product name on the container and SDS.
- Review hazards, precautions and required personal protection.
- Use the first-aid, firefighting and spill-response sections in emergency planning.
- Check storage incompatibilities and temperature considerations.
- Follow local legal requirements for workplace access and recordkeeping.
Approvals and specifications
Clear, accurate performance information.
LubeMax distinguishes regulatory approval from equivalent performance references so buyers can evaluate every product with confidence.
All LubeMax products have Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) approvals, except where the current product data sheet clearly states “Pending approval.” Refer to the latest TDS for the approval status of the specific product.
LubeMax products are formulated to meet equivalent performance requirements referenced by applicable OEM and industry specifications. “Equivalent” describes alignment with the stated performance requirement; it does not mean API licensed, API approved or API certified.
OEM and industry specifications provide recognised performance benchmarks for product selection. Each reference should be read as an equivalent performance statement unless the current LubeMax TDS expressly identifies a formal approval.

How to obtain the correct document.
Identify the exact product
Confirm the full LubeMax product name, viscosity grade and pack label before requesting or comparing documents.
Choose the document type
Use the TDS for applications and technical information, and the SDS for safety, handling, storage and emergency guidance.
Check the current version
Review the product name, market, language, issue date and revision information shown on the document.
Match the equipment requirement
Compare viscosity and equivalent performance references with the equipment manufacturer’s current requirement and actual operating conditions.
Ask for technical support
For mixed fleets, unusual service conditions or uncertain compatibility, contact LubeMax before making a final selection.
Document verification
What to check on a technical document
A current document should clearly identify the product and provide enough information to support responsible evaluation.
- Brand and exact product name
- Viscosity or NLGI grade, where applicable
- Document type: TDS, SDS, guide or catalogue
- Market, language and revision information
- Equivalent OEM or industry performance references
If a document appears inconsistent, incomplete or outdated, request the current version from LubeMax before relying on it for product selection or workplace safety.

Cannot find the resource you need?
Send the exact product and application details so the LubeMax technical team can identify the correct current document. Several grades or product variants may exist within the same lubricant family.
- Exact LubeMax product name and grade
- Required document type: TDS, SDS or other
- Country, language and intended use
- Equipment or application, if asking for selection support
- Any OEM requirement or current product being evaluated

Frequently asked questions
About LubeMax technical documents.
Where can I get LubeMax TDS and SDS documents?
Current TDS and SDS documents are available through this resource centre and from the LubeMax technical team. If a direct download is not yet shown, request the exact product and grade through the technical document request route.
What is the difference between a TDS and an SDS?
A TDS describes product applications, benefits, equivalent performance references and typical characteristics. An SDS provides hazard, handling, storage, exposure-control and emergency information.
Can I rely on a catalogue instead of a TDS?
No. A catalogue helps users navigate the range, but the current product-specific TDS should be reviewed for detailed technical information.
Are typical characteristics guaranteed limits?
Not unless the document explicitly defines them as specification limits. Typical values describe representative production and may vary within normal manufacturing control.
Are LubeMax products API approved or licensed?
No. LubeMax products do not currently carry API approval, licensing or certification. References to API, OEM or industry specifications describe equivalent performance to the stated requirement.
Do LubeMax products have SON approvals?
Yes. All LubeMax products have Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) approvals, except where the current product data sheet clearly states “Pending approval.” Refer to the latest TDS for the approval status of the specific product.
How do I know whether a PDF is current?
Check the exact product name, issue or revision information, market and website source. If the document appears inconsistent or undated, request confirmation from LubeMax.
Can a TDS replace the equipment manufacturer’s recommendation?
No. Product literature supports evaluation, but the equipment manufacturer’s current requirements and the actual operating conditions remain essential to selection.
What should I do if the document I need is not listed?
Use the technical document request route and provide the exact product, grade, market, document type and application context.
Need technical clarity?
Start with the correct document—then ask the right application questions.
LubeMax’s technical resource system is designed to support responsible product selection, safe handling, distributor capability and stronger maintenance decisions across Nigeria and regional markets.
