BIODEGRADABLE GREASES MARKET

INTRODUCTION

 Biodegradable greases are mixtures of specific non-toxic biodegradable bases, which are chosen for their biodegradability, and unique additives, which give them the appropriate qualities. In place of lubricants made of minerals, biodegradable greases provide a number of benefits.

Biodegradable greases are primarily used to reduce friction between moving surfaces and to assist in the transportation of foreign objects. 

When these greases are discharged into the environment, they break down because of the manner they were manufactured.

The usage of biodegradable grease is highly recommended for equipment used in specific resource industries, including forestry, mining, some oil and gas extraction, or anywhere the greases themselves might come into touch with the environment. 

Particularly the forestry, agriculture, and marine businesses, as well as government agencies and citizen organizations, are growing more and more concerned about their obligation to protect the environment. There are numerous uses for biodegradable greases where it is possible that grease may end up in the environment.

BIODEGRADABLE GREASES MARKET RECENT DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION

EALs are often made with biodegradable components, which break down under natural settings. Furthermore, the usage of renewable components may be required to fulfill specific certifications and labeling.

Clarity Synthetic EA Grease 0 may be used in a variety of maritime applications such as rudder carrier bearings, slides, hinges, submersible pumps, and propeller caps. Because rudders guide ships, keeping them greased is critical.

Biodegradable Product Line product is unique in that it is created from a renewable resource and is appropriate for scenarios requiring a low environmental effect, such as agricultural, mining, marine, forestry, public works, and industrial sectors. 

Petroleum-based lubricants are the most common form of base oil in this business, and they are weakly degradable, posing an environmental risk when discharged.

Furthermore, the recent rapid increase in the price of petroleum products, as well as the increased reliance on offshore sources and the declining rate of production from older domestic oil fields, all provide a strong incentive for new reserves in providing environmentally friendly, available, and price competitive lubricants.

When compared to conventional non-biodegradable mineral-based sources of crude oil or coal, the use of biodegradable lubricants greatly reduces the carbon footprint. It is a major issue that millions of tonnes of hydraulic, mechanical, and industrial oils are dumped into the ground each year, contaminating groundwater and ending up in rivers and oceans. 

BIODEGRADABLE GREASES MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST

The Global Biodegradable Greases market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.

BIODEGRADABLE GREASES MARKET NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH

A new line of readily biodegradable greases was launched by Peat's. The newest base oils and additives are used in Peat's Bicycle Assembly Grease to deliver long-lasting, low friction performance.

The grease is compatible with the majority of other common greases and has additional qualities such as a strong resistance to water washout, anti-corrosion qualities, and adherence to metallic parts. Peat's base oils have been developed using synthetic esters with a noticeable polarity to ensure that the grease sticks to metallic components.

Ester oil is most commonly used because of how readily it adheres to surfaces. Because the ester molecule is polar and magnetic in nature, ester oil possesses an electrochemical connection.

Additionally, because of the electrochemical charge, the grease coats a surface equally because one molecule repels the others. Peat's SPEED grease operates 2.5 times more quickly than assembly grease while continuing to deliver durable performance even under heavy loads.

The speed grease is compatible with the majority of other common greases and has a strong resistance to water wash out, anti-corrosion qualities, and adhesion to metallic parts. All mineral or synthetic oils, with the exception of those based on PAG (Polyalkylimides Glycol), are compatible with Peat's Speed Grease.

A variety of over based complex calcium sulfonate biodegradable greases have been introduced by SEQENS. The product is currently offered everywhere. Sequins is an integrated global leader in pharmaceutical solutions and specialty chemicals with headquarters in Equally, France.

The only calcium sulfonate grease on the market right now that is biodegradable is SEQENS, KELICO V®, making it special. Rapeseed oil is used in the formulation of the product line. Second, SEQENS uses a one-step procedure that does not require the use of a precursor made of mineral oil.

Legette claims that the single-step "carbonatation" procedure is exclusive to SEQENS. Due to their resistance to moisture and inherent anti-corrosion properties, KELICO® V over based calcium sulfonate greases are premium greases for high load and high temperature applications. 

These greases are also appropriate for harsh environments and are especially well suited for maritime applications. It has been several decades since calcium sulfonate grease development began. The process of turning over based calcium sulfonate, the precursor, into grease containing calcite particles is described in a number of patents.

Total base number (TBN) ranges from 300 to 500. McMillen invented calcium sulfonate greases that were produced using a two-step method that started with the preparation of a highly amorphous over based calcium sulfonate in a mineral or synthetic oil and ended with the transformation of the calcium sulfonate using acids, lime, and suitable promoters.

The water and promoters were then removed after the amorphous calcium carbonate was transformed into the required crystalline calcite form.

 For over based calcium sulfonate greases, a novel one-step method has been developed. The over based calcium sulfonate greases that SEQENS industrialized more than 20 years ago were to be created using this as the primary ingredient. Sulfonic acid, base oil (either vegetable, synthetic, or mineral based), and lime are all combined.

The final greases are made up of a complicated mixture of calcium sulfonate, calcium carbonate in the form of calcite, and a 100% selected carrier. In the beginning, SEQENS employed paraffinic base oils. Later, when the marine industry's demand for biodegradability expanded, the company switched to naphthenic base oils, then to rapeseed oil.

Since they are biodegradable, non-bio accumulative, and non-toxic to aquatic species, KELICOR V ester-based over based calcium sulfonate greases, which are offered in three grades, are appropriate candidates for applications requiring ecologically acceptable lubricants (EALs).

High-performance biodegradable grease was introduced by RSC Bio Solutions. With basic fluids of the polyalphaolefin (PAO) and hydrocarbon-related type, this lithium complex extreme pressure grease was created.

With its outstanding water spray off performance, extreme pressure and anti-wear performance, and wide operating temperature range, the new RSC Enviro Logic Grease 2 WREP offers a number of advantages.

Although there are other applications for this grease other than articulated tug and barge equipment, it is the best grease they have found on the market in terms of aligning with Inter con's criteria.

In a variety of marine and industrial equipment applications where exposure of the lubricant to water and environmental factors is a concern, such as articulated tug boats, barges, dredging, jack-up lifting systems, navigation locks and dams, deck equipment, rudders, and mobile drilling rigs, RSC Enviro Logic® Grease 2 WREP is specially designed for high performance. It is biodegradable and just slightly hazardous to animals and aquatic life.
