- Product Highlights
The use of Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL) are essential, especially in applications where accidental release into environmentally sensitive areas is possible. Equipment used in marine operations, ports/harbors, farming, forestry, golf courses and electrical transformers utilize synthetic ester based EALs to protect the environment, avoid costly clean-up charges/fines and achieve performance superior to mineral oils. Glyceryl esters are 100% naturally derived from glycerol and fatty acids, making them readily biodegradable and environmentally friendly. The glycerol group can be esterified with one, two, or three fatty acids to form monoglycerides, diglycerides, and triglycerides. All components are derived from select natural fats and seed oils to provide the desired physical and performance properties.
Glyceryl esters are used as base stocks, lubricity additives and emulsifiers in industrial, automotive and metalworking applications. They are also widely used as plasticizers, antistats, antifogging agents and processing aids in plastic manufacturing, as well as dispersing aids, defoamers and emollients in personal care and cosmetic applications Synthetic esters are available in a wide variety of viscosity grades and deliver an excellent combination of oxidative stability, low temperature fluidity, lubricity and high viscosity index in greases formulated with high performance thickeners. Low volatility and a favorable eco-toxicity profile make synthetic esters an excellent choice for greases that are used in outdoor partial loss applications or in environmentally sensitive areas. Synthetic esters are well suited for use as base stocks and additives in aqueous and straight metalworking fluids due to their polar nature, which enables them to adsorb on metal surfaces, reducing friction and wear in the EHL and boundary lubrication regimes.
Synthetic esters are widely used in both ferrous and non-ferrous cutting, rolling, forming and grinding applications. They can be readily emulsified to form stable synthetic and semi-synthetic fluids, and are useful as additives in straight or soluble oil formulations. Synthetic esters have low VOC and a favorable toxicological profile so they are worker friendly and environmentally responsible.
