1 Biodegradable greases are recommended to be used in environmentally sensitive areas and industries like agriculture and forestry, mining and underground works, construction & earth moving industry, marine, railways, etc.
2 Various components and ingredients of lubricating greases, if improperly disposed, have the potential to pollute and damage the environment and ecosystem. Non-biodegradable substances can get introduced into the food chain and lead to accumulation of toxic and hazardous substances in different animals, also known as “Biological Accumulation”, which poses a serious health hazard and can lead to disturbed environment.
3 This standard prescribes the requirements and methods of sampling and test for biodegradable lubricating greases for multipurpose application. This standard also covers complex soap greases containing extreme pressure (EP) additives.
