Synthetic & Bio-Based Lubricants Market - Extensive Global Industry Analysis
Lubricants can be mainly divided into two types - synthetic and bio-based lubricants. Synthetic lubricants primarily include chemical-based and mineral-based lubes. Chemical-based lubes are commonly processed from polyolefin, polyesters, polyglycols, non-PAO synthetics, esters, alkylated naphthalene and alkylated benzene. Mineral oils are basically by-products or variants of downstream petroleum processing. Mineral oil contains uneven and less uniform molecules and particulates, as compared to synthetic oil.
