AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing lithium-based greases, when using vegetable oil as a base oil, suffer from insufficient oxidative stability and poor low-temperature fluidity, making it difficult to meet the modern industrial demand for biodegradability and non-toxicity.

Method used

Lithium-based greases are prepared by using phenolic ester derivatives as base oil components and through specific synthesis methods, including the synthesis of phenolic ester derivatives and their combined use with lithium-based thickeners, extreme pressure anti-wear agents, and metal deactivators. The saponification and dehydration processes are optimized to improve the grease's antioxidant properties, anti-wear properties, and low-temperature performance.

Benefits of technology

The prepared lithium-based grease exhibits excellent antioxidant, anti-wear, and anti-corrosion properties, meeting the requirements of modern industry for biodegradability and non-toxicity, and improving the service life and reliability of the grease.
