Historically, lubricants and greases have been petroleum-based products. Our latest EAL is instead made from biodegradable ingredients.
A lubricating grease consists of a mixture of base fluid, thickener and additives. The additives provide protection against oxidation and corrosion, while the base fluid and thickener provide the required physical characteristics.
“EALs are typically formulated with biodegradable components, something that degrades under natural conditions.” Chung said. “Furthermore, there could be requirements for the use of renewable components to meet certain registrations and labels.”
While we are focused on marine vessels because of oil and water contact, our EALs are also being used in other environmentally sensitive applications, including forestry and agriculture.
