Lubricants
In 2005, the European commission voted in favour of adopting a European Ecolabel for lubricants. It sought to promote the development and use of lubricating products with reduced environmental impact. Products satisfying the requirements of the European Eco Label must be biodegradable, have low aquatic toxicity towards the environment and be derived in part from renewable and sustainable raw materials.
The European Ecolabel for lubricants aims to; reduce the harm caused to water and soil environments, reduce CO2 emissions in the atmosphere and ensure products contain a high percentage of renewable raw materials. Whilst lubricants must comply with strict environmental criteria, they must also meet minimum technical performance standards. With a portfolio of products ranging in viscosity from ISO 22 to ISO 1000, composed of both medium oxidation stable esters and high oxidation stable esters, we have the base oil technologies designed to enable formulations in all product categories to comply with environmental and technical performance requirements.
