(131b) Biolubricants Development, Formulation and Friction Test

Biolubricants have exhibited a lot of advantages over the conventional lubricants: excellent lubricity, minimizing of corrosion of metal surfaces, non-toxicity, and biodegradability. Biolubricants provide energy saving which makes them suitable to be used in all fields of industry. In this study, three biolubricants were developed and the friction force study was conducted and compared with mineral oil. The results indicated that the friction force of two biolubricants was significantly lower than that of mineral oil during the 36 minutes of testing time.
