Biodegradable lubricants
For TotalEnergies Lubrifiants, the commitment to the environment is a main priority. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) defines biodegradable lubricants (bio-lubricants) as being:
- Of low toxicity
- Subject to rapid decomposition by living organisms
Lubricants of this type are covered by strictly controlled legislation.
Biodegradable oil
A single liter of oil can pollute as much as 1,000,000 liters of water. That's why TotalEnergies produce a big range of biodegradable lubricants that perform well across all kinds of applications, whilst still meeting strict environmental requirements. Our products allow you to respect the environment, and without compromising on productivity or maintenance costs. Our bio-lubricants are made from synthetic esters as well as vegetable oils (chiefly rapeseed).
Vegetable oils are:
- Almost 100% biodegradable
- Inexpensive
Synthetic oils feature:
- Better oxidation resistance
- Extended service life for machinery
