Hints of more efficient and less costly processes than the traditional NaOH/methanol approach should be taken seriously. Remember the porcine lipase thread of a few months back? Anyone investing strong money in plant reliant on the traditional approach must accept the risk that it may become

Rapeseed or Canola is often used in environmentally friendly bar-and-chain formulations. It has always been known for its exceptional cling properties and does not fly off metal or wash off (so was used in steam engines). It works very well, clings better, and lubricates better than the red oil
