FAQ – BRSO 1150

What is BRSO 1150?

BRSO 1150 is a blown vegetable oil with high viscosity, produced by controlled polymerization. It retains natural lubricating properties and provides stable viscosity for industrial applications.

What are its main applications?

Used as a natural viscosity modifier, it is suitable for manufacturing cutting oils, emulsions, paints, varnishes, soaps, and high-viscosity industrial lubricants.

Can it be mixed with other oils?

Yes, BRSO 1150 blends easily with other oils and is often used to improve viscosity and lubricating performance of oil mixtures.

What are the key properties?

High lubricating performance and stability
Rapidly biodegradable (> 60% / 28 days according to OECD 301D)
Heat and oxidative stability
High viscosity 1150 cSt
Good handling even at low temperatures

What is the product viscosity?

Kinematic viscosity at 40 °C is 1035–1265 mm²/s, classifying it as a high-viscosity oil.

How does it behave at low temperatures?

Pour point is below −15 °C, ensuring good workability even in cold conditions.

Is it environmentally friendly?

Yes, it is rapidly biodegradable and suitable for applications that require low environmental impact.

Product Carbon Footprint

A Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculation has been conducted for BRSO 1150 in accordance with ISO 14067. The assessment covers the full product life cycle (cradle-to-grave) – from raw material sourcing, production, packaging, and transport, to end-of-life of the packaging. Results confirm the environmental advantage of this bio-based lubricant over conventional petroleum-based oils.

Total product carbon footprint:
2.21 kg CO₂e / 1 L

Parameters

Density at 20 °C	955 – 995 kg/m3
Kin. viscosity at 40 °C	The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress. 1035 – 1265 cSt
Pour Point	The pour point of a liquid is the temperature below which the liquid loses its flow characteristics. < -15 °C
Flash point	The lowest temperature at which enough vapor escapes from a heated sample above its surface into the air that the resulting mixture of vapor and air ignites when an auxiliary flame is brought close to it and then extinguishes again. > 220 °C
Biodegradability in 28 days	Biologically sufficiently rapid decomposition of oil without effect on fauna and flora. Biological decomposition monitored by dissolved oxygen analysis over 28 days. >60 %
