Abstract The realization of the synergistic effect is shown on the example of creating of the composite liquid lubricant with improved properties using the combined dispersion medium obtained by mixing of the vegetable and mineral oils. The lubricant for the saw chains and the method of its production are developed. The highly purified mineral oil of group III of the NS-4 brand is added to the rapeseed oil in the amount of 20.0…25.0 wt.%, and the complex of the calcium sulfonate with calcium carbonate in the amount of 1.5…2.0 wt.% is used as a multifunctional additive in the manufacture of this lubricant. The developed lubricant has the following characteristics: kinematic viscosity at 40 °C — 61…63 mm2/s; solidification temperature is –29 °C; flash point — 242…246 °C; welding load — 2,764 N; wear index — 0.39…0.41 mm; mass fraction of free organic acids — 1.3...4.7 mg KOH/g; degree of biodegradability — 88–89 %; warranty period of storage in an open container — 12 months.
Keywords liquid lubricant, saw chain, vegetable and mineral oils, combined dispersion medium, physicochemical properties, sedimentation stability, biodegradability
