Lubricant Base Oil and Wax Processing Avilino Sequeira
Publisher: CRC Press

Castor oil has been used as a lubricant for decades. These fluids, however, are the complex . For the most part, four of the eight, representing greases, wax-based drip lubes, regular oils, and biodegradeable oils, were all very similar, losing about 2 watts over the hour long test.'. Over time, the wax gets nasty to the point that you feel compelled to replace it lest you re-introduce the contaminants in the waxing process. Synthetics are termed such due to the altering of the base structure to create a set of molecules that retains advantages or improves on them but minimises the disadvantages of a simply processed oil. There are those who claim a waxed chain will not last as long as a chain lubricated with modern synthetic oils (probably the manufacturers of those products), but anecdotal evidence seems to support the contrary. Modern processing techniques do a pretty good job of removing these undesirable components, good enough for well over 90% of the world's lubricant applications, but they cannot remove all of the bad actors.

Its chemical structure allows it to polymerise at high temperatures to form a sticky wax type material often referred as castor varnish. While some oil producers blend many individual components to make their motor oils, most oils are made by simply blending three fluids; a DI package, a VI improver, and a base oil. Categorized | Oils & Lubricants The Ultra-S base oil is a base oil having a very high viscosity index(VI) that is produced through a hydrocracking, wax hydroisomerization and hydrofinishing process. The secret I was made privy to was that waxing your chain was preferable to using oil type lubricants as far as cleanliness was concerned. I've tried many different oils, waxes, etc., but none is as good as what is on the chain when the box is opened. I also don't recommend using wax lubricants because while they don't collect as much dirt, they are a lot of hassle to apply correctly, and wax is simply not as good a lubricant as oil. Castor Oil would be Why use Castor oil? I remember when I got into cycling 20+ years ago and working at a shop hearing about pro mechanics that would go through a rather lengthy process to lube the chains with paraffin wax. This wax still has lubricating properties. With VeloLab's findings on the efficacy of paraffin wax for lubing chains, readers are left with questions on how to lube their drivetrains.
