For years the chemical industry has relied on petroleum as the primary ingredient in thousands of products. Numerous industrial product manufacturers use petroleum-derived substances in their formulations. However, there is concern about the drastic increases in oil and gas prices, thereby increasing the cost of those products. Tighter environmental regulations continue to put pressure on oilbased product producers and their users to find safer solutions. As an alternative the use of renewable biobased products provides environmentally safe products to the manufacturers and users that offer comparable performance, economics and the added benefit of biodegradability of the final products. Incorporation of volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCI) in lubricating products provides a number of advantages. VCIs, when added to the carrier, provide corrosion protection to machinery during the operation, storage or transportation period. Properly chosen combination of inhibitors prolongs service life of machinery by minimizing the corrosive wear of the fuel systems and storage tanks. Building Blocks for fuels (BBB) and BBB Bio are utilized to control the corrosive characteristics of fuels. BBB and BBB Bio provide protection in all 3 phases: liquid, interface, and vapor phases. In addition, BBB Bio was developed with soybean oil as a carrier; allowing it to be added to a variety of biofuel and conventional fuels including diesel and gasoline during operation, storage, transport, and distribution. BBB and BBB Bio pass the rust test in accordance to MIL-PRF-25017 and ASTM D-665- 92. These and other additional laboratory test data and photos are presented.
