Determination of the Composition and Properties of Plastic Lubricants Derived from Used Oils

Resumo

A method is examined for cleaning oils using monoethanolamine and isopropyl alcohol, which permits the purification of synthetic oils for their subsequent use as dispersion media in the production of plastic lubricants. The compositions of plastic lubricants derived from Solidol J and Lithol-24 analogs produced from used oils were determined. The basic physicochemical and performance properties of experimental lubricant compositions were evaluated. The properties of plastic lubricants derived from used oils were found to be comparable or even superior to the properties of commercial analogs produced from expensive base oils.
