The sale of counterfeit lubrication products can have undesirable outcomes for manufacturers of genuine solutions. However, they also impact distributors, suppliers and end users.
A leading producer of refrigeration compressor oil and heat transfer fluids, CPI Fluid Engineering is dedicated to anti-counterfeiting and works tirelessly in its brand assurance efforts to ensure its products lines, like the Emkarate RL compressor oil range, and the customers who use it are protected.
Identifying counterfeit products
To prevent the purchase of counterfeit products and raise awareness of the prevalent problem, the identification of non-genuine lubricants is critical.
Counterfeit compressor oils inflict damage on entire value chains, making the costs of employing counterfeit products exceptionally high.
Specific regions around the world are known for high levels of counterfeiting activity. The Asia Pacific region, including China, for instance, needs stronger anti-counterfeiting efforts as activities are frequent. However, other regions, like Latin America, have experienced an increase recently regarding the number of attempted sales of counterfeit products.
CPI Fluid Engineering is aware of product labelling that is determined to be counterfeit. It advised distributors and end users not to buy EmkarateĀ® RL products that carry specific batch and lot numbers listed on its website. These include MR0183-11, F07\00205, J12/8276069, MR0348-4 8070-P, 7253R, N11/8276069, M12/8276069 and F05/82724065.
What are the consequences of utilising counterfeit lubricants?
CPIās Emkarate RL has an advanced design delivering premier performance levels in many key areas. It supplies superior wear protection for dependability and exceptional operation at low temperatures. It also offers enhanced energy efficiency and greater lubricity, but those buying counterfeit products donāt receive such benefits.
Instead, a wide range of negative operating impacts are incurred using non-genuine lubricants. These include reduced heat transfer leading to inefficiency, high levels of friction and wear, compressors suffering oil starvation causing failure, inferior oil return and total system failure leading to reduced compressor lifespan and other adverse reactions.
Purchase authentic Emkarate RL
Non-genuine lubricants cause confusion, harm brand reputation, generate liability issues and cause lost revenue for distributors and manufacturers across the value chain.
Industrial operations where compression applications need the benefits of genuine products, like lubricants, experience many negative impacts because of counterfeit products. Loss of productivity because of mechanical downtime, wasted investment on inferior products and severe compressor damage are all possible results of deploying counterfeit oils.
Working with De La Rue and its authentication technology, CPI Fluid Engineering offers brand assurance via its investment in bespoke anti-counterfeit packaging features on its products.
CPI uses Izon(r) label technology that lets customers make sure they purchase authentic Emkarate lubricants. Product purchases are also verifiable using the labelās QR code or visiting www.vercpi.com and inputting the labelās seven-digit serial number.
As a leading lubrication manufacturer, brand assurance is of vital importance for CPI Fluid Engineering. It encourages purchasing Emkarate RL via authorised distributors as a key step to fighting counterfeiting. Buying genuine lubricants offers optimal compressor performance and works to protect users and their equipment from damage and other unwanted outcomes.
