Abstract

The lubricants of the future have to be more environmentally adapted, have a higher level of performance. Synthesis esters (SEs) which can be used as raw materials for biodegradable lubricant base oils are increasing in popularity due to superior technical properties. Direct esterification of trimethylolpropane (TMP) with fatty acid in a solvent free system, by immobilized lipase from Candida sp. 99–125 was studied. Investigations of important ...
