The household appliance industry is an important economic sector in Germany. The market for household appliances, which is traditionally divided into large and small appliances, has been growing steadily for years. Large appliances include washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, electric stoves/ovens, hobs, extractor hoods and refrigerators and freezers. Small appliances include the product groups vacuum cleaners, ironing devices, personal care appliances and small kitchen appliances.

Of course, lubricants are needed to produce these large and small devices. Depending on the area of use and application, these must be efficient, economical, sustainable and free of ingredients that are harmful to the environment and health.

B&S offers a wide range of lubricants for the production of large and small appliances in the household industry. These include, among others, water-miscible and non-water-miscible metalworking fluids.
