Biolubricants

Abstract

 Toxic chemical reduction  Improved water quality  Climate change reduction Biolubricants, also known as bio-based lubricants or bio-lubes, are made from a variety of vegetable oils, such as rapeseed, canola, sunflower, soybean, palm, and coconut oils. The best application for biolubricants is in machinery that loses oil directly into the environment during use, total loss lubricants (TLLs), and in machinery used in any sensitive areas, such as in or near water. Applications for TLLs include two-stroke engines, chainsaw bars and chains, railroad flanges, cables, dust suppressants, and marine lubricants.
