Biodegradable greases

For more than 25 years, CONDAT has been developing multi-purpose and technical biodegradable greases, and took an interest in the subject well before the Grenelle Environment Forum and  ECOLABEL certified lubricants.

The objective, from the start, was to offer a credible alternative that could rival the levels of performance of greases based on mineral oils. The use of synthetic biodegradable base oils and our mastery of the manufacturing process have allowed us to cover multiple application fields. With this range, CONDAT lets you limit your impact on the environment while guaranteeing the correct operation of your equipment.

• Roller bearing, plain bearings, articulations
• Harvesting heads, coal-cutter chains
• Drill pipe threads
• Screw couplings, buffers for rolling stock
• Wheel flanges, curved track for railways
• Railway switch plates, mobile parts of switch plates
• Open gear reducers
• Bearing seals or tunnel boring machine head bearings
• Extraction screw bearings

We consider that only ultimate biodegradability (OECD test 301) should be taken into account for biodegradable greases. We use BioLubricants guaranteeing stability to oxidation greatly superior to that of raw vegetable oils. The level of performance in many cases is comparable to that of formulations based on mineral oils.

In very specific cases, the use of synthetic esters, made for aeronautical use, can result in performance levels superior to conventional greases.

All these greases can be offered in grades NLGI 000 to NLGI 3. The viscosity at 40°C can vary according to the target application from < 15 cSt to 460 cSt.

These greases are specially formulated for applications where protection of the environment is essential, such as lost-oil greasing or greasing in sensitive areas:

• Railway greases
  • GR 439 G  : resistant to impacts and UV
  • CONDAT BIO SP EVO : anti-corrosion protection and lubrication of switchplates
• Wood-industry greases
• Agricultural greases
• Underground works, Tunnels
  • BTG 4602: Heavy loads and resistant to water, and fire

More generally, CONDAT's BIO NATUR range brings together all biodegradable lubricants available for a large spectrum of activities where respect for the environment is essential, especially in “sensitive” areas.

Because of their technical qualities, synthetic greases are the obvious choice for applications in sensitive areas. They can also be an alternative for optimising and spacing out your maintenance operations.

CONDAT offers equipment suitable for facilitating implementation of our lubricants:

• Grease distribution
