Lubyren™ is a product line developed by Afyren, a French company specializing in producing bio-based chemicals and ingredients through innovative fermentation processes. Afyren is committed to providing sustainable and circular solutions to industries traditionally dependent on petrochemical-based products. Lubyren™ offers a range of 100% bio-based carboxylic acids as eco-friendly alternatives to crude oil-derived acids commonly used in lubricant formulations. These acids are produced using local, renewable, and sustainable resources within a fully circular model, resulting in a carbon footprint reduction of up to five times compared to fossil-based acids. The process utilizes renewable by-products as feedstocks, ensuring no direct competition with human food sources.
Lubyren™ includes high-quality bio-based organic acids like Lubyren™ Valeric, Lubyren™ IsoValeric, and Lubyren™ Caproic. These acids are designed for high-performance lubricants and functional fluids, offering benefits such as low volatility, oxidation stability, high thermal stability across large temperature ranges, and reduced friction and wear in machinery. Key applications include compressor oils, metalworking fluids, refrigeration lubricants, and immersion cooling fluids. By substituting conventional acids with Lubyren™ acids, industries can significantly accelerate their efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower their carbon footprint.
