For many industries, there are strong
arguments for use of biodegradable
lubricants derived from crop-based
renewable resources in ecologically
sensitive applications. Such arguments
are important where pollution of soil
and water by conventional mineral
oils may cause problems to plants,
animals and the environment.

FUCHS now offers bio lubricants
for a host of applications where
previously mineral oils were used.

The list includes: Metalworking and
the manufacturing industries,
quarrying and mining, and railways.

Formulations have been developed,
trialled and put into service for
almost all lubricant applications.

Advantages claimed include: High
load carrying abilities, good anti-wear
character, excellent Coefficient of
Friction, low toxicity, natural multigrade
properties, low evaporation
rates – low emissions to atmosphere,
and rapid biodegradability.
