Description There is an increasing move towards the use of environmentally safe lubricants. However, the development ofa common hiodegradahle base stock that could replace conventional ones is a hig 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 outperform their conventional mineral-based counterparts in certain applications. Future lubricant specifications in I'iew of the demand for improved performance to meet stringent environmental regulations are the main drivers for new technological developments. As part of a study to produce polyol ester lubricant hase stocks from C5 polyols and Co-CI4 carboxylic acids in the presence of eco-friendly catalysts, a series of products has been synthesised. A biodegradable luhricant formulation for automotive transmission fluids has been developed based on a svnthesised product as a base fluid. This paper reports on the physico-chemical characteristics and performance evaluation results of this formulation, which is a promising base stock for automotive transmission fluids.
