1. Spectrum Wall Chart


Spectrum laminated wall charts feature a re-writable surface, allowing facility teams to assign specific colors to individual lubricants. Using a felt-tip marker, lubricant descriptions and viscosities can be clearly marked alongside the selected color. To maintain consistency and avoid cross-contamination, each designated color should be used exclusively for its corresponding lubricant throughout the facility.

2. Spectrum Tags & Labels


Spectrum tags and labels offer a quick and efficient way to identify lubricants, containers, lubrication points, and equipment. Each tag can be marked with essential information using a felt-tip marker or customized Spectrum label, then sealed beneath a protective laminate to preserve clarity and cleanliness. The system supports fully personalized labeling, with options for color coding, tailored text, and barcoding to meet your specific operational needs.
