ITW Pro Brands is continuing the evolution of the LPS portfolio through LPS MAX, a new-generation MRO product line designed for heavy-industry applications. The range includes lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, penetrants, and cleaners, with development focused on product performance, packaging functionality, regulatory and environmental compliance, and sustainability. Current products include LPS MAX 1, MAX 2, MAX KB 88, MAX ChainMate, MAX PreSolve, and MAX ZeroTri, serving industrial maintenance, machinery manufacturing, automotive parts, aviation, railroad, marine, and heavy-equipment applications.
Performance improvements are evident across several products. LPS MAX 1 and MAX 2 provide rapid penetration, moisture displacement, corrosion protection, and ongoing lubrication, while MAX ChainMate uses a moly-fortified formulation for chain and wire-rope applications involving high loads and temperatures. MAX PreSolve is an industrial orange degreaser designed to remove grease, grime, tar, and adhesive residues, while MAX ZeroTri provides fast heavy-duty degreasing without chlorinated or brominated solvents. The MAX aerosol platform also features slip-resistant cans and locking integrated flip-straw actuators for controlled precision or broad application.
Compliance and environmental considerations remain an important part of the LPS MAX development strategy. ITW Pro Brands provides official documentation covering REACH SVHC, VOC, RoHS, PFAS, and California Proposition 65 requirements. Its 2026 SVHC statement addresses the 253 substances on the REACH Candidate List published on February 4, 2026, while the current VOC guide identifies product-specific VOC status across U.S. and Canadian markets. These resources demonstrate that the LPS MAX portfolio is being developed not only around performance and application efficiency, but also around regulatory requirements, environmental considerations, and transparent technical documentation.
