BPL Delivers Return On Investment

Cost Justification For Selecting Bio Penetrating Lubricants

In most facilities or shops, the relative impact of lubricant purchasing costs on net profitability over the course of a year is relatively minor.

Return On Investment (ROI) is a far better measure of cost justification. Bio Penetrating Lubricants made from Stabilized HOBS present a cost reduction opportunity for businesses, delivering a ROI many times over the purchasing cost differential incurred from switching to these high performance, multi-functional, multi-purpose light industrial oils.

The typical Return On Investment from gained operational efficiencies is much greater than the total cost of purchasing Bio Penetrating Lubricants over the course of a year.

 
No Hidden Costs

There are no extra costs incurred from switching over to Bio Penetrating Lubricants as these light industrial oils are fully compatible with existing system oils, components, filters, seals, and coatings.

 
Contamination of Workers

Workers not using Bio Penetrating Lubricants are operating under unnecessary risk from potential contamination. Exposure from petroleum spray lubricants is common; often unavoidable and toxic. Many of the petroleum spray products warn against nerve or brain damage if inhaled.

Using Bio Penetrating Lubricants reduces the potential negative health results of incidental contact with workers or the environment due to naturally occurring events or human error.

Made From Renewable Resources

 
Made From Stabilized High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS)

United Bio Lube's Bio Penetrating Lubricants are formulated from U.S.D.A. sponsored High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS)² and processed with stabilized chemistry for:

• High Performance - High Quality
• Multi-Grade Performance
• Penetrant Longevity
• Anti-Oxidation, Anti-Corrosion, Anti-Rust
• Cold Flow Pumpability
• Reduced Thickening
• Lower Deposits
• 100% Ultimate Biodegradation
• Extremely Low Volatility
• Fire Safety

HOBS are specialized commodity vegetable oil crops, i.e. Soy, Sunflower, Canola, and Corn. Once stabilized against oxidation, these basestocks yield the safest, most efficient bio-lubricants available in today's marketplace.

Note:  United Bio Lube's Green Policy position supports the Hybrid Breeding method for naturally growing Mid and High Oleic Base Stock commodity oil crops.

 
HOBS Promotes U.S. Oil Independence

United Bio Lube's Bio Penetrating Lubricants were developed in collaboration with Dept. of Agriculture (USDA), Dept. of Interior (DOI), Dept. of Energy (DOE), and Dept. of Defense (DOD) through bipartisan initiatives, lead by senators Thomas Harkin (D, Iowa) and Richard Lugar (R, Indiana), to reduce America's dependency on fossil fuels and foreign oil while promoting rural economic development.

The High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS) program is a cornerstone technology America is deploying to gain Self Reliance, Economic Security, Workplace Safety, and Environmental Protection for the next 100 years.

 
HOBS Promotes U.S. Green Chemistry Policy

Renewable agricultural High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS) represent a growing Green Chemistry market segment that is directly addressing:

• U.S. dependency on fossil fuels and foreign oil.
• Solutions for sequestering CO₂ and other harmful green house gases.
• The elimination of hazardous waste streams from toxic lubricants, solvents, and fuels.
• The fostering of new renewable, Green Chemistry based marketplaces.
• The preservation of U.S. manufacturing.
• The creation of new employment opportunities.

Each of these National Security Interests are inclusive, and in alignment with, the Green alternative energy policies advocated by ApolloAlliance.org, a Ten-Point Initiative for Clean Energy and Good Jobs. ApolloAlliance.org is an strategic alliance of government (U.S. Senators, Congressman, Governors, Mayors) and industry leaders (Labor Unions, Corporate Executives) organized to transition the U.S economy away from a Fossil Fuel dependent Hydrocarbon-based Economy towards a more sustainable, renewable Carbohydrate-based U.S. Bio Economy.

 
Green Chemistry Life Cycle

Broad use of vegetable oil based lubricants creates a continuous, long term economically sustainable Green Chemistry cycle within the greater U.S. Biobased Economy whereby U.S. industries lubricate and protect machinery and equipment with Stabilized High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS) grown on U.S. farms.

Most notably, no CO₂ is produced in the manufacturing of Bio Penetrating Lubricants. As High Oleic Base Stock (HOBS) vegetable oils are grown and scaled to U.S. commodity crop volumes, harmful Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) gas is simultaneously sequestered, or 'pulled', from our atmosphere.

 
HOBS Sequesters CO₂ From The Atmosphere

As Soy, Sunflower, Canola, and Corn HOBS commodity crops are grown, harmful CO2 is sequester, or pulled out of the atmosphere. By scaling out HOBS development across the country, the U.S. can begin to reverse its contributions to the dangerous trend of global warming.

 
HOBS Provides Unique Cradle-to-Grave Opportunities

Still non-hazardous after usage, some biobased products such as Bio Hydraulic Fluids can be Recycled or Re-refined into additional biobased lubricant products, i.e. Bio Chain & Cable Oils, Bio EP Greases, Bio Bar & Chain Oils. In turn, these re-refined biobased lubricant products will completely biodegrade as they are expelled into the environment upon usage.

Re-refining biobased fluids and oils into biodegradable Bio Penetrating Lubricants in the Total Loss Lubricant category represents an industry breakthrough in Cradle-to-Grave low environmental impact product lines. Such Green Chemistry solutions represent the future for controlling waste streams from lubricants.

 
HOBS Protects Against Soil Contamination

The non-hazardous naturally occurring esters found in HOBS are rated Ultimate Biodegradation³ and are renewable, recyclable, and sustainable national resources.

United Bio Lube's Bio Penetrating Lubricants contain No Heavy Metals and No Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

 
HOBS are Safe, Non-Hazardous, and Worker-Friendly

Bio Penetrating Lubricants have an additional benefit of being non-toxic to humans.

Meeting and exceeding all OEM specifications, Bio Penetrating Lubricants are preferred over petroleum products when:

• High performance and quality is required
• There is incidental worker contact with the penetrant
• Direct exposure to the environment is likely
• Economic sustainability is a prime Green Policy objective.

 
Government Regulatory Compliance

2002 Farm Bill Act Mandates All Federal Agencies Purchase Biobased Products

Currently, the U.S. government mandates stewardship of our environment explicitly in the 2002 Farm Bill Act.

Bio Penetrating Lubricants enable governments and corporations to comply with White House Executive Order 13101, 'Greening of the Government Through Waste Prevention, Recycling, and Federal Acquisition', issued in 1998 by President William J. Clinton and signed into federal law by President George W. Bush via the 2002 Farm Bill Act.

The 2002 Farm Bill Act mandates all U.S. Federal Government Agencies purchase environmentally safe, biobased, vegetable oil lubricants. The new law includes a Federal Biobased Products Preferred Procurement Program (FB4P) which obliges all federal agencies to purchase biobased products "to the maximum extent practicable."

As of 2008, FB4P is now referred to as the USDA's BioPreferred Program where an online catalog of Biobased Products is maintained. All of United Bio Lube's 160+ products are listed in the catalog, or ready for listing when new catagories are created.

Products covered by the procurement program include Lubricants, Solvents, Fuel Conditioners, Inks, Paints and Coatings, Plastics, Adhesives, Cleaners, and more.

The term Biobased Product is spelled out in Section 9002 of the Farm Security & Rural Investment Act of 2002, which says,

TITLE IX. Energy is where the procurement preference for Biobased Products is mandated.
