Environmentally Friendly Bio-Air Tool™ Lubricants Eliminate Reportable Incidents for Food Processing Plants

Renewable Lubricants presents patented, ultimately biodegradable Bio-Air Tool.™ Lubricants which have better natural lubricity than petroleum-based oils but are safer for employees and the environment. Because they are bio-based, and food-grade, there is no danger of polluting the air, water, soil, or work environment with spilled lubricant. Unlike petroleum-based product, should a leak occur operators can simply wipe it up and throw away the towels or rags – no reporting is required, nor is expensive disposal. They emulsify water for improved lubricity and corrosion protection in moist conditions. Bio-Air Tool™ Lubricants can be fed through an airline lubricator or with a squirt directly into the tool through the quick coupling air connection. Available in 22 and 32 weights, they feature low toxicity and super high viscosity index of the HOBS, making them ideal for air tool applications in a wide range of food processing applications.


Bio-Air Tool™ Lubricants meet the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP) guidelines for Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EALs) and should be used where low toxicity, biodegradability, and non-bioaccumulation properties are required.  In addition to being safer for the environment, they are safer for employees.  It exceeds the acute toxicity (LC-50/EC-50{1000 ppm) criteria adopted by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the US EPA.
