WHAT IS?
tribology
TRIBOLOGY: is the science and engineering of interacting surfaces in relative motion. It includes the study and application of the principles of friction, lubrication, and wear. Highly interdisciplinary, it draws on many academic fields, including physics, chemistry, materials science, mathematics, biology and engineering.
Len Bridger, Founder
Two entrepreneurs started E.C.L. Energy Conserving Lubricants from a garage in Calgary in 1983, with a grand vision to create powerful, yet environmentally friendly, easy-to-use and cost-effective products for the energy industry.
​
In 1995, they were joined by a brilliant technician who brought with him vast knowledge of tribology (the science of lubrication). Many of the advanced products that GUARDEX manufactures today come from this storehouse of knowledge. In 1990, E.C.L. merged with Allwest Energy Lubricants to form GUARDEX LUBES Inc.
​
We are still a dedicated, family-run business, now located in High River, Alberta.
