Due to the devastating environmental problems caused by lubricants, innovative sustainable development in bio-based additives for lubricants has been introduced. These additives are biodegradable and nontoxic for society as well as the environment. 

Benefits​

The bio-based additives for lubricants are derived from vegetable and plant oils. Interesting is that the additives for lubricants are produced using renewable energy to reduce the carbon footprint even further. Other benefits of bio-based additives for lubricants are: 
  • Low volatility, 20% lower evaporation rate than mineral oils. 
  • Good lubricity, ester bonds cling to the metal providing good boundary lubrication compared to nonpolar petroleum-based mineral oils. 
  • Better compatibility compared with various additives. 
  • Wide range of products to meet the requirements of specific applications 

Application

Bio-based additives for lubricants are a promising substitute for various applications due to their availability in a wide array of properties which are essential for some applications. Industrial applications for bio-lubricants are; chain saws, harvesters, gear oils, hydraulic fluids, cranes, tractors, metal cutting oils, coolants, corrosion protection, load carriers in forests, and greases. Besides, the construction sector remains an essential application for bio-based lubricants.
