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

 
Bio Gear Oils Solve Several Key Problems

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 Food Grade Gear Oils tolerate both lower and higher temperatures, offer improved Anti-Wear, Anti-Weld, Anti-Scuffing, Anti-Galling, and mild Extreme Pressure properties, extend lubrication intervals, and lengthen the service life of moving parts.

Plant operators have a business opportunity to reduce operational costs, improve food safety standards, and comply with government regulations.

 
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 Food Grade 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.

 
Contamination of products

Food, Beverage, Pharmaceutical, and Cosmetic manufacturers not using food grade gear oils are operating under unnecessary risk from potential contamination. Contamination from gear oils, greases, and other lubricants has been a problem for the food grade processing industry. One accident can result in a product recall, potentially damaging a company's reputation. 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 Food Grade Gear Oils reduces the potential negative health results of incidental contact with workers or the environment due to naturally occurring events or human error.

 
Bearing Failure

Use of Bio Food Grade Gear Oils reduces production and equipment downtime due to bearing failure. Bearing failure is a major factor in productivity losses. Bio Food Grade 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 Food Grade 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.

 
Return On Capital Investment

Our customers are seeking higher performance, new safety features, and a series of Return On Investment (ROI) incentives for switching over to Bio Food Grade Gear Oils made from renewable Green Chemistry.

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

 
Cost Justification For Selecting Bio Food Grade 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 Food Grade 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 Food Grade Gear Oils over the course of a year.

 
No Hidden Costs

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

 
Eliminates Risks From Contamination

Manufacturers not using Bio Food Grade 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 Food Grade Gear Oils 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 Food Grade Gear Oils offer Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Plant Operators brand protection, extended performance features, warranty protection, and safety requirements demanded by today's green marketplace.

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

 
Built In Safety Against Contamination & Fire

Reduces Risks of Food Contamination

Controlling contamination is a #1 priority for plant operators.

Advances in sanitary equipment design have evolved from the food industry's need to reduce and eliminate microbiological, chemical, and physical contaminants in the plant environment. United Bio Lube's Bio Food Grade Gear Oils are engineered to handle contamination with water and food juices while providing protection to expensive equipment.

Manufacturers not currently using food grade lubricants are operating under unnecessary risks of recalls, litigation, and brand damage due to contamination from petroleum based lubricants. A recall and subsequent litigation can incur significant damages in the form of legal fees, recall expenses, loss of employee time and productivity, plus intangible costs, i.e. damage to reputation, loss of customer faith, and costs associated with regaining customers.

 
Stabilized HOBS Rank #1 In Purity

A Green Chemistry Breakthrough!  High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS)¹ are the purest basestocks in the marketplace providing the highest level of hygienic protection against chemical contamination; such safety standards are inherently unattainable in pure synthetic lubricants and mineral oils.

United Bio Lube's Bio Food Grade Gear Oils have No Heavy Metals and have No Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) or other harmful vapors.

Safe from contaminants, grown from renewable agricultural resources, High Oleic Base Stocks are naturally ultra-high purity base oils.  In contrast, most competitive mineral oils are manufactured by refining, a solvent-based process that retains contaminants from a crude-oil source. Refinery generated contaminants can lead to acid development and premature aging of gear oil.

 
Compliments Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Systems

Eliminating potential contamination risks in the manufacturing process, Bio Food Grade Gear Oils are a key component in any HACCP system deployed in Food, Beverage, Cosmetic, and Pharmaceutical industries.

Food manufacturers who proactively select Military Spec DOD-L-24651 Type I and NSF H-1 incidental contact Bio Food Grade Gear Oils as part of their business process will meet the dual goals of worldwide compliance and protection of brand integrity. Switching to Bio Food Grade Gear Oils is a precautionary strategy taken by U.S. and global food companies seeking to achieve HACCP food and drug safety standards while mitigating potential liabilities.

HACCP programs focus on preventing food borne illnesses by applying science based controls, such as analysis of potential food hazards, identifying critical control points, incorporating preventive measures, taking corrective actions, and effective record keeping. These standards permit more efficient and effective government oversight of the food manufacturing process, helping companies compete more effectively in world markets.

 
Made From Renewable Resources

HOBS Promotes U.S. Oil Independence

United Bio Lube's Bio Food Grade 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 Food Grade Gear Oils (BCI™) are formulated from U.S.D.A. sponsored High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS)² and processed with Stabilized¹ chemistry for:

• High Performance
• Gear Oil Longevity
• Anti-Oxidation
• Cold Flow
• Reduced Oil Thickening
• Lower Deposits
• Fire Safety
• 100% Ultimate Biodegradation

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 air tool oils 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 Food Grade 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 sequestered, 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 Food Grade 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 100% Ultimate Biodegradation⁴ and are renewable, recyclable, and sustainable national resources.

United Bio Lube's Bio Food Grade 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 Food Grade Gear Oils have an additional benefit of being non-toxic to humans.

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

• High performance is required
• There is incidental worker contact with the air tool oil
• Direct exposure to the environment is likely

 
HOBS Outperforms Petroleum-based Food Grade Gear Oils!

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

United Bio Lube's Bio Food Grade Gear Oils are preferred alternatives to traditional petroleum based products when considering that Bio Food Grade Gear Oils both outperform and are safe to manufacture, transport, use, and dispose of. Bio Food Grade Gear Oils make obsolete the use of hazardous petroleum based food grade gear 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.

BEES is 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.
