Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL) are gaining more importance due to the changing awareness and regulations. These Lubricants are especially of interest in environmentally sensitive application areas such as:

Marine

Construction

Mining

Power Generation

Forestry & Agriculture

Transportation

The USA Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines EAL’s as lubricants that fulfill specific requirements:

✔ Biodegradable (ex.: ≤ 60%, OECD 301B)

✔ Minimally toxic (ex.: OECD 201)

✔ Non- bioaccumulative (ex. OECD 117)

Oleon’s natural chemistry enables us to offer a broad range of ester base oils and additives well-adapted to these criteria and especially suited for formulation of Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants and Bio-lubricants (min. 25% renewable content).
