Esters
Boedal is one of Europe’s largest suppliers of adipate and trimellitate esters to lubricants companies. We’re constantly answering the demands of clients, recently introducing a range of TMP and 2 ethylhexyl esters that are competitive. We built our position on excellent product quality, expert technical support and competitive pricing.

From this platform we’ve constructed an R&D programme focussed on generating data of use to formulators. For example, we support every ester with lubricant specific test data; running dry TOST and RPVOT oxidation tests, Conradson carbon, Noack volatility, distillation profile etc.
We particularly like esters as they offer design flexibility and usually possess good HS&E characteristics.
We also started investigating the oxidation properties of esters, additive free and then blended with 4 common anti-oxidants to investigate additive response. We used the dry TOST and RPVOT tests for evaluation. The anti-oxidants used were BHT (ref), Irganox 1010, L107 and Topanol CA.
Then we moved to study load carrying properties. Many companies conduct 4-ball tests to screen anti-wear/EP performance, but we wanted a procedure that provided a clearer ranking of performance and produced useful data to formulators. After evaluating many test methods, we decided to use the FZG test.
We conducted FZG tests at the Technical University of Munch (TUM), a key developer of the widely used test protocol A/8.3/90. At TUM we evaluated additive free mineral oils (Groups I, II, III), PAO’s, PAG’s, mono-di-and tri-esters, polyols, estolides, natural oils, blown and stand oils etc. We also ran some blends – investigating the influence of viscosity on performance, plus other studies looking the effect of thick components dissolved in thin oils.
These data have developed a unique understanding of how molecular structure influences load carrying properties and identified trends. Customers receive our R&D reports when they are updated. Our ultimate aim is to design new sustainable molecules with inherently good load carrying properties so that formulators don’t need to add anti-wear and EP additives. Sounds crazy, and maybe a step too far, but we’ve now two fluids that failed load stage 12 – additive free.
