Production and Blending of Sodium Based Water-Resistant Lubricating Greases from Petroleum and Petrochemical By–Products

The present study is aimed at producing high water-resistant lubricating grease that can serve as a better alternative to the commonly used sodium-based grease. This is motivated by the need to reduce the high cost and upgrade the quality of Sodium-based greases available in our local markets motivated the present study. This is realizable by using polypropylene, low-density polyethylene, base-oils, and vegetable oils from Nigerian industries (petroleum and petrochemical industries). The quality of sodium – based greases obtained in the Nigerian market need to be improved.
