4. INTRODUCTION
What is Lubricant
?
“Lubricant (Base stock oil + Additives) is
a substance introduced between two
moving surfaces to reduce the friction
between them, improving the efficiency
(lifespan), and reducing wear (stress)”
Conventional lubricant base-stocks are
originated from Fossil fuels- Contains
hydrocarbons, S, N and other metals

Synthesis of Bio-Lubricant from Castor Oil Methyl Esters via Epoxidation
24. Conclusions
Studied the structural modification of COFAME (Chemical modification) to use as
a Bio Lubricant from renewable raw material
Epoxidation reaction was performed to convert the un-saturation into oxirane ring
formation (Epoxide)
Significant physico-chemical and thermal – oxidative stability of modified epoxide
and unmodified COFAME properties were studied thoroughly
Finally, it could be concluded that COFAME can be used as a potential high
temperature lubricant base-stock
Further, cold flow properties can be improved by additivation or extending the
chain length by ring opening reaction
