| Description |
There is an increasing move towards the use of environmentally safe lubricants.
However, the development ofa common biodegradable base stock that
could replace conventional ones is a big challenge. Synthetic lubricants,
whether synthetic hydrocarbons, organic esters, or others, all have problems
associated with their use. However, in general terms synthetic lubricants protect
better, last longer, and outpelform their conventional mineral-based
counteJparts in certain applications. Future lubricant specifIcations in view
of the demand for improved peJjormance to meet stringent environmental
regulations are the main drivers for new technological developments. As part
of a study to produce polyol ester lubricant base stocks Fom C, polyols and
C6-C'4 carboxylic acids in the presence of eco~fi'iendly catalysts, a series of"
products has been synthesised. A biodegradable lubricant formulation for
automotive transmission fluids has been developed based on a synthesised
product as a base fluid. This paper reports on the physico-chemical characteristics
and peJjormance evaluation results of this formulation, which is a
promising base stock for automotive transmission fluids.
