3. Properties of different base oil families
The term "synthetic oil" is not defined in the technical field, but is perceived differently by different players. A discussion remains in the field of bio-lubricants. It concerns the resources to be used, both technically and ethically:
oils of purely (direct) vegetable origin ;
base oils using vegetable resources ;
renewable base oils with a chemical structure identical to a petrochemical differing in 14 C isotope fingerprint.
The characteristic advantages of base oils with a renewable and chemically identical content to a petrochemical competitor are obvious when it comes to lubricant functionality.
ISO 15380 deals in detail with all four types of environmentally acceptable...
