These "Biobased" gear oils retain their properties under extreme mechanical shear pressure at all temperatures subjected to during use.  At the same time, excellent flow properties allow these gear oils to flow easily into bearings.

 
Affordable Drop In Replacements For Petroleum Gear Oils

Bio Gear Oils are engineered to perform as premium, high quality Drop In Replacements for harmful petroleum based gear oils.

Bio Gear Oils compete in high performance with synthetic based gear oils, yet, cost less. Unlike synthetic and mineral oil formulas, biobased gear oils are made from renewable and sustainable agricultural plant resources grown in America.

In addition to being a smart and cost effective purchase, Bio Gear Oils add real value through better machine performance, efficiency, safety, and reliability.

Performance benefits of this new lubricant system include a much higher Viscosity Index, much lower Total Acid Number, superior Oxidation Stability, very low Pour Points with improved Cold Temperature Fluidity, superb Heat Stability with very high Flash Point, and exceptionally high Load Carrying Capacity.

Bio Gear Oils are fully Compatible with all types of multi-metals and alloys, plastics, seals, elastomers, coatings, and finishes.

 
Bio Gear Oils Solve Several Key Problems

Gear Oil breaks down due to heat, water, and oxidation.

Lubricant emulsification is a common problem in many industrial processing environments.  Water breaks down gear oil viscosity, film strength, and hinders additive performance.  Bio Gear Oils made from Stabilized HOBS are inherently better able to resist emulsification in high-moisture environments than conventional gear oils. This resistance to emulsification virtually eliminates problems in processing environments, where conventional gear oils tend to attract water, causing gear oil breakdown.

 
Mineral based gear oils lack performance under extreme conditions

While many mineral based gear oils meet OEM requirements, they often do not meet the more demanding temperature and load requirements of modern processing equipment and machinery. Comparable to synthetic performance, Bio Gear Oils tolerate both lower and higher temperatures, offer improved Anti-Wear, Anti-Weld, Anti-Scuffing, Anti-Galling, and Extreme Pressure properties, extend lubrication intervals, and lengthen the service life of moving parts.

 
Bearing Failure

Use of Bio Gear Oils reduces production and equipment downtime due to bearing failure. Bearing failure is a major factor in productivity losses. Bio Gear Oils have superior durability and will allow significant improvement in bearing and gear life. High operating temperatures break down and carbonize mineral-oil lubricants, requiring bearing replacement or frequent re-application. Superior Shear Stability, Load Carrying Capacity, and the natural Lubricity of Bio Gear Oils contribute to extended bearing and gear life while lasting significantly longer than mineral oil based gear oils, thereby minimizing or eliminating re-application.

 
Energy Conserving Automotive & Industrial Applications

United Bio Lube's Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) compounds energy conserving Stabilized² HOBS¹ with Bio Corrosion Inhibitor (BCI™) chemistry and mild Anti-Wear Extreme Pressure additives to offer the protection advantages of a Rust and Oxidation (R&O) inhibited API Service Classifications for an Ashless GL-4 type gear lubricant.

The exacting quality built into Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) delivers exceptional performance reliability in older and newly designed Spiral-Bevel Transmissions and moderate service Hypoid Gears.

Bio Gear Oil - SAE 80W90 (GL-4) is recommended for use in Automotive and Industrial gear drive applications:
 

• Multi-purpose Off-Highway use in Agriculture, Civil Engineering, Construction, Forestry, Manufacturing, Military, Mining, and Marine industries.
   
• On-Highway light Passenger Cars, Light Trucks, Heavy-Duty Trucks, Buses, Vans, SUV's.
   
• Differentials, Transaxles, Manual Transmissions, Final Drives, Gearboxes, and other gear sets operating under High-Speed/Low Torque or Low-Speed/High Torque.
   
• Marine Outboard and Stern Drive lower unit gears and bearings.
   
• Recommended where Extended Service Intervals are required.

 
Energy Conserving Wind Turbine Applications

United Bio Lube's Bio 80W90 Gear Oil (GL-4) is engineered to increase the Load Carrying Capacity and reliability of high capacity Cylindrical Roller Bearings used in Wind Turbine gearboxes. Superior Lubricity, Viscosity Index, and Anti-Wear Extreme Pressure performance features reduce damage due to Roller-to-Roller Smearing, a common failure mode in bearings typically specified for wind turbine gearbox applications.

Bio 80W90 Gear Oil (GL-4) has excellent Cold Flow Pumpability through oil passage ways during low temperature operation. The very strong adhesive film of lubrication prevents metal-to-metal contact between Rollers and Raceways that results in smearing and surface wear.

Less friction allows for proper rolling behavior, especially in low load conditions, which reduces the risk of Cage Slip and significantly reduces the potential for Ring Creep, and Flange Fracture, and Fretting of the Rings and Rollers.

 
Energy Conserving Open & Enclosed Gear Drive Applications

United Bio Lube's Bio Extreme Pressure (EP) Gear Oils - ISO 46, 68, 100, 150, 220, 320, and 460 are engineered for heavy duty use in machines, equipment, and tools subjected to high loads, varying temperatures and speeds.

Bio EP Gear Oils are recommended for all types of commonly used Gear Drives, including Right Angle Gear Drives.

Bio EP Gear Oils provide outstanding lubrication and advanced protection in all Enclosed gear systems (Worm, Helical, Bevel, and Spur) operating under normal loads or heavy shock-loading conditions.

Bio EP Gear Oils form an Adhesive lubricating Fluid Film with a low tendency to evaporate and high resistance to water. Bio EP Gear Oils are highly resistant to emulsification.

The high Viscosity Index (VI) of the Stabilized HOBS allows Bio EP Gear Oils to be Energy Conserving in the startup mode while providing improved load protection to reduce wear during operation. The high Viscosity Index (VI) makes these products lighter and therefore more Energy Efficient at room temperatures up to 40 °C. Additionally, Bio EP Gear Oils provide a heavier, more protective, full fluid film than mineral based formulas at high loads and operating temperatures above 60 °C.

 
Energy Conserving Speed Reduction Applications

United Bio Lube's Bio Gearhead Oils - SAE 15W40, SAE 10W30 are formulated to reduce frictional wear and fatigue by providing optimal Torque Multiplication for Speed Reducers (also referred to as Gearboxes, Gearheads, or Gear Reducers) widely used in Turbines, Shaft Liners, and Axletrees.

Bio Gearhead Oils are engineered to meet and exceed OEM specifications and requirements for Speed Reducers manufactured in a broad range of sizes, capacities and speed ratios. Bio Gearhead Oils assure superior Lubricity for smooth operation of Gears, Shafts, and Bearings enclosed in factory mounted housings.

Engineered for today's advanced food processing machines and equipment, Bio Gear Oils are designed to deliver a measurable Return On Investment.

 
Cost Justification For Selecting Bio Gear Oils

Green Means Return On Investment

In most processing plants, the relative impact of oil purchasing costs on net profitability over the course of a year is relatively minor.

Return On Investment (ROI) is a far better measure of cost justification. Bio Gear Oils made from Stabilized HOBS present a cost reduction opportunity for plant manufacturers, delivering a ROI many times over the purchasing cost differential incurred from switching to these high performance, multi-functional, multi-purpose oils.

The typical Return On Investment from gained operational efficiencies is much greater than the total cost of purchasing Bio Gear Oils over the course of a year.

 
No Hidden Costs

There are no extra costs incurred from switching over to Bio Gear Oils as these oils are fully compatible with existing gear system components, filters, seals, and oils.

 
Eliminates Risks of Contamination

Manufacturers not using Bio Gear Oils are operating under unnecessary risk from potential contamination. Lubricant leaks and spills in industry are common; often unavoidable. Contamination can come from a release of compressed air containing an oily mist or from drips off of Open Gears.

Using Bio Gear Oil reduces the potential negative health results of incidental contact with workers or the environment due to naturally occurring events or human error.

 
Green Means Real Operational Cost Savings

Bio Gear Oils offer Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Plant Operators extended performance features, warranty protection, and safety requirements demanded by today's manufacturers.

Bio Gear Oils offer Facility Operators a cost-effective way to improve plant production, ensure product safety, and control operating expenses.

 
Made From Renewable Resources

HOBS Promotes U.S. Oil Independence

United Bio Lube's Bio Gear Oils were developed in collaboration with Dept. of Agriculture (USDA), Dept. of Interior (DOI), Dept. of Energy (DOE), and Dept. of Defense (DOD) through bipartisan initiatives, lead by senators Thomas Harkin (D, Iowa) and Richard Lugar (R, Indiana), to reduce America's dependency on fossil fuels and foreign oil while promoting rural economic development.

The High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS) program is a cornerstone technology America is deploying to gain Self Reliance, Economic Security, Workplace Safety, and Environmental Protection for the next 100 years.

 
Stabilized High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS)

United Bio Lube's Bio Gear Oils (BCI™) are formulated from U.S.D.A. sponsored High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS)² and processed with stabilized chemistry for:

• High Performance - High Quality
• Gear Oil Longevity
• Anti-Oxidation, Anti-Corrosion, Anti-Rust
• Cold Flow Pumpability
• Reduced Oil Thickening
• Lower Deposits
• 100% Ultimate Biodegradation
• Extremely Low Volatility
• Fire Safety

HOBS are specialized commodity vegetable oil crops, i.e. Soy, Sunflower, Canola, and Corn. Once stabilized against oxidation, these basestocks yield the safest, most efficient bio-lubricants available in today's marketplace.

Note:  United Bio Lube's Green Policy position supports the Hybrid Breeding method for naturally growing Mid and High Oleic Base Stock commodity oil crops.

 
HOBS Promotes U.S. Green Chemistry Policy

Renewable agricultural High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS) represent a growing Green Chemistry market segment that is directly addressing:

• U.S. dependency on fossil fuels and foreign oil.
• Solutions for sequestering CO₂ and other harmful green house gases.
• The elimination of hazardous waste streams from toxic lubricants, solvents, and fuels.
• The fostering of new renewable, Green Chemistry based marketplaces.
• The preservation of U.S. manufacturing.
• The creation of new employment opportunities.

Each of these National Security Interests are inclusive, and in alignment with, the Green alternative energy policies advocated by ApolloAlliance.org, a Ten-Point Initiative for Clean Energy and Good Jobs. ApolloAlliance.org is an strategic alliance of government (U.S. Senators, Congressman, Governors, Mayors) and industry leaders (Labor Unions, Corporate Executives) organized to transition the U.S economy away from a Fossil Fuel dependent Hydrocarbon-based Economy towards a more sustainable, renewable Carbohydrate-based U.S. Bio Economy.

 
Green Chemistry Life Cycle

Broad use of vegetable oil based lubricants creates a continuous, long term economically sustainable Green Chemistry cycle within the greater U.S. Biobased Economy whereby U.S. industries lubricate and protect machinery and equipment with Stabilized High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS) grown on U.S. farms.

Most notably, no CO₂ is produced in the manufacturing of Bio Gear Oils. As High Oleic Base Stock (HOBS) vegetable oils are grown and scaled to U.S. commodity crop volumes, harmful Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) gas is simultaneously sequestered, or 'pulled', from our atmosphere.

 
HOBS Sequesters CO₂ From The Atmosphere

As Soy, Sunflower, Canola, and Corn HOBS commodity crops are grown, harmful CO2 is sequester, or pulled out of the atmosphere. By scaling out HOBS development across the country, the U.S. can begin to reverse its contributions to the dangerous trend of global warming.

 
HOBS Provides Unique Cradle-to-Grave Opportunities

Still non-hazardous after usage, Bio Gear Oils can be Recycled or Re-refined into additional biobased lubricant products, i.e. Bio Chain & Cable Oils, Bio EP Greases, Bio Bar & Chain Oils. In turn, these re-refined biobased lubricant products will completely biodegrade as they are expelled into the environment upon usage.

Re-refining biobased fluids and oils into biodegradable Bio Lubricants in the Total Loss Lubricant category represents an industry breakthrough in Cradle-to-Grave low environmental impact product lines. Such Green Chemistry solutions represent the future for controlling waste streams from lubricants.

 
HOBS Protects Against Soil Contamination

The non-hazardous naturally occurring esters found in HOBS are rated Ultimate Biodegradation³ and are renewable, recyclable, and sustainable national resources.

United Bio Lube's Bio Gear Oils are formulated with a non-toxic Zinc-free additive package with No Heavy Metals and No Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

 
HOBS are Safe, Non-Hazardous, and Worker-Friendly

Bio Gear Oils have an additional benefit of being non-toxic to humans.

Meeting and exceeding many OEM specifications, Bio Gear Oils are preferred over petroleum based products when:

• High performance and quality is required
• There is incidental worker contact with the gear oils
• Direct exposure to the environment is likely
• Economic sustainability is a prime Green Policy objective.

 
Stabilized HOBS Outperforms Petroleum-based Gear Oils!

Bio Gear Oils are formulated to OUTPERFORM petroleum based gear oils. The natural oily film of these super high Viscosity Index products have proven in laboratory and field tests to outperform petroleum based gear oils in terms of Lubricity, Oxidation Stability and Load Carrying Capacity..

United Bio Lube's Bio Gear Oils are preferred alternatives over traditional petroleum based oils when considering that Bio Gear Oils both OUTPERFORM and are SAFE to manufacture, transport, use, and dispose of. These Bio Gear Oils make obsolete the use of hazardous petroleum based oils, especially when one considers Performance, Worker Health & Safety, Environmental Impact, and a proper Life Cycle Analysis, i.e. BEES - Life Cycle Cost Analysis Tools.

A total Life-Cycle Analysis of the environmental impact from United Bio Lube's Bio Gear Oils has been assessed using the BEES system.

BEES provides consumers with a true cost assessment when including impacts to eco systems from manufacturing, usage, and disposal. BEES measures the Environmental Performance of chemical products by using the Life-Cycle Assessment approach specified in the ISO 14040 series of standards. All stages in the life of a product are analyzed:

Economic Performance is measured using the ASTM Standard Life-Cycle Cost Method, which covers the costs of:

Environmental and Economic performance scores are combined into an overall performance measure using the ASTM Standard For Multi-Attribute Decision Analysis.
