Global Biodegradable Greases Market Definition

Greases are a kind of shear-thinning or pseudo-plastic fluid, which means that the viscosity of the fluid is decreased below shear. Following sufficient force to shear the grease has been implemented; the viscosity drops and resembles that of the base lubricant, such as the mineral oil. Biodegradable greases are blends of selected biodegradable bases which are non-toxic, and special additives that give them their desired properties.

Biodegradable greases are an alternative to mineral-based lubricants, and they offer several advantages. Biodegradable greases or mainly utilized to lower the friction between moving surfaces and aid in transporting foreign particles. These greases are made in such a way that they degrade when they are released into the environment. The use of biodegradable grease is excellent for devices used in certain resource industries, such as forestry, mining, certain oil, and gas production, or wheresoever's the greases themselves might come into contact with the environment.

Marine, forestry, and agriculture industries in particular, along with citizen groups and governments, are becoming more and more concerned about their responsibility to safeguard the environment. Biodegradable greases also find their applications in many applications where it is likely that grease will end up in the environment. Examples are railway lubrication, forestry equipment, agricultural machines, harbor cranes, etc.

Global Biodegradable Greases Market Overview

The rising preference for bio-chemicals as pro-environmental solutions is the crucial factor driving the growth of the global market. Increasing legislation and initiatives taken by the government regulatory bodies for producing biodegradable greases will work in support of the growth of this market.
