A lubricating grease is formed by a method including preparing a lithium formulation and cooling the lithium formulation to about 175 degree Celsius ( C.). The method includes preparing a calcium sulfonate formulation and combining the lithium formulation and the calcium sulfonate formulation in proportions appropriate to the desired performance criteria. The method includes mixing the lithium formulation and the calcium sulfonate formulation.

An improved hydroisomerization catalyst and process for making a base oil product using a catalyst comprising SSZ-91 molecular sieve and ZSM-12 molecular sieve. The catalyst and process generally involves the use of a catalyst comprising an SSZ-91 molecular sieve combined with a ZSM-12 molecular sieve to produce dewaxed base oil products by contacting the catalyst with a hydrocarbon feedstock. The catalyst and process provide improved base oil cold properties, such as pour point and cloud point, along with other beneficial base oil properties.

The invention is based on the development of biolubricants from vegetable oils, whose performance is superior to traditional lubricants currently used on the market, the vast majority of which are of petrochemical origin. Another great positive aspect is the rapid biodegradability, in less than 28 days more than 60% of the product biodegrades. In most countries, the disposal use after of these petrochemical products is prohibited, which creates a major problem and cost. The flexibility and the possibility of assembling molecules with different configurations generate lubricants with previously unimaginable performance, such as, for example, high lubricity, adjustable viscosity and low freezing points.
