High-Performance Without Petroleum

Evolve Lubricants, Inc. is unlike any other oil company on the planet. While many other manufacturers continue down the road of using petroleum in their products, Evolve saw a different approach to high-performance and sustainability. As technology improved and brought new capabilities to the forefront, the reality of using alternative sustainable and renewable materials as much as possible instead of petroleum became more and more apparent. Evolve Lubricants’ products and performance are unlike any other in the world.

Evolve Lubricants’ focus on creating lubricants with non-petroleum technology is emphasized with the green “non-petroleum” bar on each of its products. Unheard of within the lubricant industry, Evolve was able to take the leap and produce finished lubricants that are composed of primarily sustainable renewable plant-based base oils while outperforming petroleum-based products.

 

High Performance Renewable Feed Stock

Evolve utilizes technology that created a ground-breaking molecule, a unique hydrocarbon entirely based on plant-based feedstocks. This base stock surpasses the high performance characteristics of a high-quality petroleum product without having to rely on petroleum. The process also allows these oils to meet numerous API SN, ILSAC GF-6A and B, and other OEM requirements for durability and longevity in a variety of engines and components. Due to the extremely stable nature of the molecule used, chemical and mechanical stability are vastly improved which yields a higher-performing product with longer service life. This provides an ability to be used in high-stress environments such as racing, extreme hydraulic systems, and other demanding industrial applications. Evolve Lubricants saw this as an opportunity to depart from aging traditional petroleum technology and provide high-performing lubricants for a wide range of industries with a sustainable non-fossil renewable product line.

Behind The Technology

The unique base oil utilized by Evolve Lubricants outperforms petroleum-based Group IV products. Regarded as top-tier performing ingredients. Evolve’s base oils reduce the lubricant’s impact on the environment. With the ability to cut the cycle of dependence on petroleum products, and the need to more frequently replace them, Evolve’s base oils will lead the world by decarbonizing the lubrication sector.

Molecular Improvements over Petroleum Lubricants

Evolves technology enables precise control over branch length, position. proximity and degree of branching for higher performing finished lubricants The result is control over critical fluid properties:
  • Viscosity
  • Volatility/Vapor Pressure
  • Traction/Friction Coefficient and pressure-viscosity relationship
  • Pour point, low temperature viscosity (Brookfield, CCS)
  • Temperature dependent viscosity (VI)
  • Structure-correlated properties – Thermal (Cp, k), dielectric properties, stability (shear, thermal, chemical)

Optimized Molecules and Formulations

  • Purity – Unlike petroleum, plant oils do not contain contaminants, such as metals, sulfurs, and aromatics.
  • Molecular Weight Control – Final products have a narrower molecular weight range than petroleum.
  • Branching and Structure Design – Feedstocks are perfectly linear every time. The process allows for tailored branching to optimize performance.
  • Stability – The structures create the highest thermal and oxidative stability in all platforms.
  • Biodegradability – Structure and purity enable it to meet biodegradability standards set by OCED 301B.

Advancing To The Next Generation Of Synthetic Lubricants

For years biodegradable vegetable-based lubricants were low-performance options compared to their petroleum counterparts due largely to being composed of esters and not hydrocarbons. These legacy fluids broke down when temperatures rose above 180°, lacking the characteristics to stand up to the rigors of heavy-duty or high-stress conditions and ultimately were compromised solutions. Not surprisingly, they failed to succeed in the marketplace. Evolve Lubricants is now changing that narrative with the first hydrocarbon plant-based high-performance synthetic lubricants. The only high performance answer in a world seeking non-fossil solutions with sustainability.
