Environmentally considerate ester lubricants for the automotive and engineering industries

Abstract: Concern at the amount of lubricants lost in the environment has prompted the search for environmentally considerate lubricants, i.e. lubricants which biodegrade as a result of the biological action of living organisms. Various test procedures and parameters are discussed, and the performance of various lubricants, including synthetics, is presented.

“…Vegetable oil based lubricants are environmentally preferred to petroleum based oils due to their low volatility, high flash point, favorable viscosity temperature characteristics and excellent biodegradability 1 3 . Vegetable oils are from renewable resource, nontoxic and lower cost alternative to synthetic fluids 4,5 . In addition, vegetable oils have high solubilizing power for polar contaminants and additive molecules.…”

“…The use of epoxidized unsaturated fatty acids FA as metal working fluids 14 and epoxy oils as lubricating additives to eliminate corrosion from chlorine containing compounds 15 is reported in literature. Epoxides can also be used as high-temperature lubricants 4,11 and the products obtained from ring opening can be employed as low-temperature lubricants 16 .…”

“…In many applications the fluid is required to perform at elevated temperatures and in contact with air. Consequently, in its current form, the oil does have an important disadvantage which should be overcome before usage as base stock [2,10,14].…”

“…The ester linkages deliver inherent lubricity on metallic surfaces because of their adhesive property. Further, vegetable oils have superior solubilizing power for contaminants and additive molecules compared with mineral base fluids [1][2][3][4][5]. Because of existing of bis-allylic protons in the fatty acid chain vegetable oils have poor oxidation stability.…”

“…Nowadays, many base fluids such as vegetable oils and synthetic esters have found practical applications in the formulation of biodegradable lubricants because of their excellent biodegradability and non-toxicity (S. J. Randles and M. Wright, 1992) (A. Willing, 2001).…”
