Case Study
Bio-Based Oils
Renewable Resource Based Technology
Using organic base oils results in ultra low emissions.
Overview.
American Research Specialty Products initiated an effort to successfully develop and deploy bio-based product technology formulated with environmentally safer materials sourced from domestic renewable resources.
Chlorinated paraffin has been used as a highly effective additive in many applications – however, chlorinated paraffins have long been targeted by state and federal agencies. These agencies often restrict the use of paraffin in metalworking fluids due to the environmental health and safety risks associated with these products.
American Research Specialty Products successfully illustrated that these products are cost-effective, fit for purpose, safe, and compliant with applicable regulations. They are ready to serve the manufacturing community across all industries.
Why It Worked.
- Free of Chlorinated Paraffin
- 50 grams per liter VOC or less
- Flashpoint 400 degrees Fahrenheit or greater
- Cost competitive on a unit cost basis with standard products
- Comparable performance compared to existing competitive products
Results.
Environmentally safer using domestic renewable resources.
After working closely with the South Coast Air Quality Management District, it was confirmed that the technology using organic base oils from American Research Specialty Products had ultra-low emissions of volatile organic compounds.
