For Total Lubrifiants, commitment to the environment is a central priority. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) defines biodegradable lubricants (bio-lubricants) as being:
- Of low toxicity
- Subject to rapid decomposition by living organisms
Lubricants of this type are covered by strictly controlled legislation.
Biodegradable oil
A single litre of oil can pollute as much as 1,000,000 litres of water. That's why TotalEnergies produce a large selection of biodegradable lubricants that perform well across all kinds of applications, whilst still meeting stringent environmental requirements. Our products allow you to operate with respect for the environment, and without compromising on productivity or maintenance costs. Our bio-lubricants are manufactured from synthetic esters as well as vegetable oils (chiefly rapeseed).
Vegetable oils are:
- Almost 100% biodegradable
- Inexpensive
Synthetic oils feature:
- Better oxidation resistance
- Extended service life for machinery
