RSC Bio's EAL Marine Lubricants Don't Compromise on Performance

The risk of environmental incident is real. And so is the need to run your business. That’s what drives RSC Bio, a leader in sustainable lubricants engineered to keep your business -
and the environment - safe and sound. Our exclusive technologies offer the stability, compatibility, and reliability you need, while minimizing exposure concerns. At RSC Bio, we
believe it’s not enough to simply solve a challenge. You need to solve smarter.

Unlike most other environmentally acceptable lubricants (EALs), RSC Bio Solutions’ products are formulated using a PAO and other synthetic hydrocarbon base oil which is stable in the presence of water. Major advantages include drop-in replacement to mineral oil and high compatibility with standard seal materials. We have approvals from leading OEMs and seal manufacturers. 

Superior performance

RSC Bio Solutions’ products are advanced lubricants for demanding marine equipment where high performance meets environmental responsibility. These hydraulic fluids, gear oils and greases offer extreme protection against water and the elements and deliver long term lubricating stability, resulting in more uptime and reduced operating costs so you can focus on getting the job done. 

Compliant with Regulations

While the reporting of and cleanup for all spills and leaks is always required, the remediation costs and fines associated with VGP-compliant solutions are generally less substantial. US EPA 2013 VGP: vessels over 79 feet must use Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EALs) when operating in US waters in all oil-to-sea interfaces. An “Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant” is minimally toxic, not bioaccumulative and biodegradable (defined as >60 percent degradation after 28 days). EALs and other safer fluids required under the VGP are a good benchmark to follow when operating in highly sensitive and restricted areas to minimize the environmental impact of a spill or leak.

Future Proof

RSC Bio Solutions’ technology provides outstanding long-term protection for marine equipment, while also building in readiness for the changes ahead. Global trends continue to suggest that regulations requiring the use of environmentally acceptable solutions that can meet technical requirements will continue to increase. Additionally, many ports and waterways have established their own incentive systems to reward players who adopt options that are safer for the environment, recognizing the long term financial benefits of sustainability. Some industry leaders adopt environmentally acceptable solutions not only to comply in regulated environments, but also as a result of increasing corporate pressure, public scrutiny, and efforts to protect their brand by embracing sustainability leadership.
