Title : Analysis of the Results of Making Grease Made from Soybean Oil as a Substitute for Petroleum Oil
laily ulfiyah, Faizatur Rohmah,

Abstract : Currently, development in the industrial sector is very advanced. In a development, heavy equipment is definitely needed. In the use of heavy equipment, it certainly requires a lubricant that serves to reduce the wear that occurs due to friction between two surfaces. Grease that is spread on the market today is a petroleum-based product that is not environmentally friendly and not abundant. The manufacture of lubricating grease in this study uses vegetable oil as the base material, which is soybean oil. Lithium as a thickener oil and molybdenum as an additive. The tests carried out in this study were melting point test, corrosion rate test and viscosity test. Based on the research that has been done, the results of soybean oil-based grease lubricants with melting point values below 150o C are obtained. Soybean oil-based grease is included in the NLGI GC standard. Soybean oil-based grease has excellent corrosion resistance.
