Lube-Tech PUBLISHED BY LUBE: THE EUROPEAN LUBRICANTS INDUSTRY MAGAZINE
in immersion cooling, chemical compatibility for use in refrigerant fluids, and thermo-oxidative stability for use in the automotive industry.
These results are only an introduction to the unique benefits that can be achieved by using C6 in ester based lubricants —and this is just the starting point. Ester chemistry is incredibly versatile, with a multitude of polyols available to synthesise new molecules with unique characteristics. C6 can also be combined with other fatty acids of higher chain lengths or molecules with different functional groups for creating tailor- made formulations.
Upcycling food waste to an abundant supply of caproic acid opens up opportunities to produce sustainable synthetic esters for use in various lubricant applications.
