Understanding the Concept of Biolubricants
TotalEnergies Biolubricants refer to lubricants that biodegrade rapidly and are non-toxic to both humans and aquatic habitats. These innovative lubricants can be derived from plant oils like rapeseed oil or synthetic esters produced from modified renewable oils. The key advantages of using biolubricants include their rapid biodegradability, low toxicity, environmental friendliness, excellent lubricating properties, high viscosity index, and the ability to prolong equipment life.
Applications of Biolubricants
Biolubricants are highly recommended for applications that pose environmental risks, such as lost oils or oils that may accidentally leak, including hydraulic oils, engine oils, gear oils, and axle oils. Their use is particularly beneficial when environmental protection is a top priority. TotalEnergies offers a comprehensive range of biolubricants tailored for various activities, including river and coastal navigation, inland marine navigation, leisure boating, locks, hydroelectric plants, and more.
Biolubricants for Environmental Conservation
In environments where earthmoving equipment is utilized, such as construction sites, development projects, quarries, or urban roadworks, there is a potential for accidental spills of engine, transmission, or hydraulic oils that can harm the surrounding ecosystem. To address this concern, TotalEnergies provides a specialized line of biolubricants designed for extraction machinery, construction equipment, earthmoving machinery, and drainage cleaning machinery. These biolubricants help mitigate the impact of oil spills on the environment and promote sustainable practices.
