Superior Lubricity
Forms a strong lubricating film that minimizes metal-to-metal contact, reducing friction and extending equipment life.
Glycerol Trioleate (GTO) is a high-performance polyol tri-ester derived from unsaturated fatty acids, specifically engineered for demanding industrial applications. As a versatile food grade chain oil and metalworking fluid base, GTO delivers exceptional lubrication properties while maintaining compliance with stringent food safety standards. This bio-based lubricant offers superior performance in applications requiring direct or incidental food contact, making it the preferred choice for food processing equipment, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and precision metalworking operations.
Forms a strong lubricating film that minimizes metal-to-metal contact, reducing friction and extending equipment life.
Performs reliably at elevated temperatures without breaking down, ideal for high-heat industrial environments.
Biodegradable and derived from natural sources, making it safer for use in sensitive or regulated environments.
Works well with a wide range of additives including anti-wear agents, antioxidants, and corrosion inhibitors.
High molecular weight structure ensures low volatility, helping to maintain lubricant volume over time.
Naturally high viscosity, suitable for both light and heavy-duty applications, including custom formulations.
Used in cutting, grinding, and forming oils.
Ideal for bio gear oils and greases.
For eco-safe hydraulic fluid systems.
Works in compressors and chain oils.
Acts as softener and process lubricant.
