Due to the rise in petroleum prices as well as increasingenvironmental concerns, there is a need to develop biochemicals andbioproducts that offer realistic alternatives to their traditionalcounterparts; this book will address the lack of a centralizedresource of information on lubricants and greases from renewablesources, and will be useful to a wide audience in industry andacademia. It is based on 20 years of research and development atthe UNI-NABL Center, and discusses the various types of vegetableoils available, comparing their characteristics, properties andbenefits against those of typical petroleum oils as well asdiscussing common evaluation tests and giving examples and casestudies of successful applications of biobased lubricants andgreases. Whilst scientific and engineering research data isincluded, the book is written in an accessible manner and isillustrated throughout.
* Focuses on an industrial application of lubrication technologyundergoing current explosive growth in the global market.
* Includes a detailed review of the material benefits ofplant-based lubricants that include a better viscosity index andlubricity even at extreme temperatures, lower flammability due tohigher flash points and lower pour points.
* Covers the basic chemistry of vegetable oils as well as theirprofiles for use in lubricants and greases and environmentalbenefits.
* Includes examples and case studies of where vegetable-basedlubricants have been successfully employed in industryapplications.
