Author(s): Kailas M. Talkit, D. T. Mahajan, V. H. Masand

Different vegetable oils viz. soybean oil, olive oil, almond oil, amla oil, castor oil, groundnut oil, cottonseed oil, coconut oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil, mustard oil were purchased from the local standard market. Different blends of vegetable oils were prepared in different proportions and lubrication properties like cloud point, pour point, flash point, fire point and % carbon residues were determined. From this study, it’s found that given lubrication properties changes with changing vegetable oil blends. This study will help the lubricant producing industry to check out most ecofriendly, economical vegetable oil blends as industrial lubricant at lower as well as at higher temperatures.
