Biodegradable Oils
Biodegradable Oils
To formulate its environmentally friendly lubricants, Molylub uses only high-tec synthetic esters base oils according to the required level of performance.
Safe Bio Lubricants for industry
The Molylub range of biodegradable lubricants meets very strict criteria and requirements in terms of biodegradability and toxicity. Certain products in the range also comply with the European ECOLABEL certification.
Railways biodegradable oil Molylub Railway Oil Bio
Industrial, non-toxic, and biodegradable lubricants offer significant benefits for the railway industry in terms of performance, human health, and environmental sustainability. By adopting these innovative lubricants, railway operators can reduce energy consumption, lower maintenance costs, and protect sensitive ecosystems. As the demand for sustainable transportation solutions continues to grow, the adoption of environmentally friendly lubricants will play a crucial role in the future of the railway industry.

Important to know that widely used traditional additives to oil lubricants damage the environment not less than the base oil of lubricants. For example, heavy-metal salts are present in many commercial additives and make these additives not appropriated for using in eco-friendly lubricants. Thus searching of alternative groups of compounds which are acceptable for eco-friendly lubricants is an important problem studied by researchers throughout the world. In present paper boron-containing compounds were considered as a clue of this problem. High tribological performance of boron compounds as functional additives was stated in a number of literature resources.
Ecoligic Bio safe hydraulic oil Molylub BioHyd SE
The derived boron-containing lubricant proved to be a promising rail-curve lubricant. The experiments on the four-ball friction machine and the end friction machine demonstrated high anti-wear and anti-scoring characteristics of the lubricant in a friction contact. The comparison of the resources of the developed lubricant with the commercially used biodegradable rail-curve grease also confirmed viability of the derived lubricant in a railway industry. Analysing the mechanism of anti-scoring effect of boron-containing additives in terms of physical adsorption led to plausible values of the equilibrium constant of adsorption.
Molylub BioHyd SE is based on a synthetic carboxylic ester and contains specific additives improving its anti-oxidation, anti-wear and anti-corrosion properties.
Molylub BioHyd SE 32 is an ISO VG 32 viscosity grade with a high viscosity index.
Molylub BioHyd SE is biodegradable and therefore is intended for all mobile and stationary applications where losses in the nature may occur such as off-highway and tunnelling equipment, offshore facilities, boats, sluices, …
Molylub BioHyd SE is compatible with most of elastomers (NBR, polyurethane resins, polyacrylates, fluorinated polysiloxanes and Viton type materials). It is not compatible with natural rubber and EPDM.
- High VI and low pour point. Suitable for a wide range of temperature
- Compatible with mineral oil and vegetable oil based fluids
- Higher life time than vegetable oil based fluids
- High level of biodegradability
