THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PREPARED MIXTURES OF CRAMBE ABYSSINICA SEED OIL WITH MINERAL AND SYNTHETIC OIL

摘要

The base oils must meet the high technical and ecological requirements for the raw materials used in the production of lubricants. The relevant useful properties can be obtained by mixing the vegetable oil with mineral or synthetic oil. The paper presents the results of tests of mixtures of oil obtained from Crambe Abyssinica seeds with mineral and synthetic oil. A variation of tested mixtures with regard to thermo-oxidative stability and antiwear properties were found. The mixtures with the most favourable properties were recommended as a base oils during the production of ecological lubricants.
