The Prospects of Linseed Oil Based Bio Lubricant in Machine Application: A Review

Environmental concern has been the main issue that push the oil industry to select bio degradable oil in their production since vegetable oil is highly biodegradable than any other oils, it become a good choices to the lubricant manufacturer to consider the vegetable oils as their base stock. The use of bio Lubricant is very attractive to reduce fossil fuels exploitation and increase its sustainability. Due to which natural ecosystems, such as rivers, aquifers or subsoil, the environmental consequences can be severe. Industrial researchers are devoted to increase attention and put on their efforts to the possible utilization of renewable resources as raw materials for the production of both chemicals and polymeric materials. Vegetable oils and modified vegetable oils have become attractive sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based materials for industrial applications such as soaps, lubricants, coatings, paints, and so on. Due to their biodegradability, low toxicity, non-content of volatile organic chemicals, easy availability, and relatively low price.[4] This is highlight the linseed oil chemical properties when it mixed with an additive. The effect on engine performance such as torque and power produce when using this mixing linseed oil is analyze in order to determine whether the usage of this oil as lubricant may enhance the engine or not..
