Made From Renewable Resources
HOBS Promotes U.S. Oil Independence
United Bio Lube's Bio Air Tool Oils were developed in collaboration with Dept. of Agriculture (USDA), Dept. of Interior (DOI), Dept. of Energy (DOE), and Dept. of Defense (DOD) through bipartisan initiatives, lead by senators Thomas Harkin (D, Iowa) and Richard Lugar (R, Indiana), to reduce America's dependency on fossil fuels and foreign oil while promoting rural economic development.
The High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS) program is a cornerstone technology America is deploying to gain Self Reliance, Economic Security, Workplace Safety, and Environmental Protection for the next 100 years.
Stabilized High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS)
 United Bio Lube's Bio Air Tool Oils are formulated from U.S.D.A. sponsored High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS)2 and processed with stabilized chemistry for:
- High Performance
- Air Tool Oil Longevity
- Anti-Oxidation
- Cold Flow
- Reduced Oil Thickening
- Lower Deposits
- Fire Safety
- 100% Ultimate Biodegradation
HOBS are specialized commodity vegetable oil crops, i.e. Soy, Sunflower, Canola, and Corn. Once stabilized against oxidation, these basestocks yield the safest, most efficient air tool oils available in today's marketplace.
Note: United Bio Lube's Green Policy position supports the Hybrid Breeding method for naturally growing Mid and High Oleic Base Stock commodity oil crops.
HOBS Promotes U.S. Green Chemistry Policy
Renewable agricultural High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS) represent a growing Green Chemistry market segment that is directly addressing:
- U.S. dependency on fossil fuels and foreign oil.
- Solutions for sequestering CO2 and other harmful green house gases.
- The elimination of hazardous waste streams from toxic lubricants, solvents, and fuels.
- The fostering of new renewable, Green Chemistry based marketplaces.
- The preservation of U.S. manufacturing.
- The creation of new employment opportunities.
Each of these National Security Interests are inclusive, and in alignment with, the Green alternative energy policies advocated by ApolloAlliance.org, a Ten-Point Initiative for Clean Energy and Good Jobs. ApolloAlliance.org is an strategic alliance of government (U.S. Senators, Congressman, Governors, Mayors) and industry leaders (Labor Unions, Corporate Executives) organized to transition the U.S economy away from a Fossil Fuel dependent Hydrocarbon-based Economy towards a more sustainable, renewable Carbohydrate-based U.S. Bio Economy.
Green Chemistry Life Cycle
Broad use of vegetable oil based lubricants creates a continuous, long term economically sustainable Green Chemistry cycle within the greater U.S. Biobased Economy
whereby U.S. industries lubricate and protect machinery and equipment with Stabilized High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS) grown on U.S. farms.
Most notably, no CO2 is produced in the manufacturing of Bio Air Tool Oils. As High Oleic Base Stock (HOBS) vegetable oils are grown and scaled to U.S. commodity crop volumes, harmful Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas is simultaneously sequestered, or 'pulled', from our atmosphere.
HOBS Sequesters CO2 From The Atmosphere
 As Soy, Sunflower, Canola, and Corn HOBS commodity crops are grown, harmful CO2 is sequestered, or pulled out of the atmosphere. By scaling out HOBS development across the country, the U.S. can begin to reverse its contributions to the dangerous trend of global warming.
HOBS Provides Unique Cradle-to-Grave Opportunities
United Bio Lube's Bio Air Tool Oils can be made from Recycled or Re-refined biobased fluids and oils, such as Bio Hydraulic Fluids or Bio Gear Oils.
Still non-hazardous after usage, Bio Hydraulic Fluids and Bio Gear Oils can be reclaimed and processed into additional biobased lubricant products, i.e. Bio Air Tool Oils, Bio EP Greases, Bio Bar & Chain Oils. In turn, these re-refined biobased lubricant products will completely biodegrade as they are expelled into the environment upon usage.
Re-refining biobased fluids and oils into biodegradable Bio Air Tool Oils in the Total Loss Lubricant category represents an industry breakthrough in Cradle-to-Grave low environmental impact product lines. Such Green Chemistry solutions represent the future for controlling waste streams from lubricants.
HOBS Protects Against Soil Contamination
The non-hazardous naturally occurring esters found in HOBS are rated Ultimate Biodegradation3 and are renewable, recyclable, and sustainable national resources.
United Bio Lube's Bio Air Tool Oils are formulated with a non-toxic Zinc-free additive package with No Heavy Metals and No Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
HOBS are Safe, Non-Hazardous, and Worker-Friendly
Bio Air Tool Oils have an additional benefit of being non-toxic to humans.
Meeting and exceeding many OEM specifications, Bio Air Tool Oils are preferred over petroleum based products when:
- High performance is required
- There is incidental worker contact with the air tool oil
- Direct exposure to the environment is likely
Stabilized HOBS Outperforms Petroleum-based Air Tool Oils!
Over the last 15 years, United Bio Lube's Bio Air Tool Oils have undergone rigorous testing by federal agencies and independent labs,
have been approved, and are currently recommended for use within the U.S. Coast Guard, National Park Service, and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
Bio Air Tool Oils are specially formulated to OUTPERFORM petroleum based air tool oils. The natural oily film of these super high Viscosity Index products have proven in laboratory and field tests to outperform leading petroleum and competitive Commercial Vegetable Oil based air tool oils in terms of Lubricity, Penetrant Quality, Load Carry Capacity and Oxidation Stability.
United Bio Lube's Bio Air Tool Oils are preferred alternatives to traditional petroleum based products when considering that Bio Air Tool Oils both outperform and are safe to manufacture, transport, use, and dispose of.
Bio Air Tool Oils make obsolete the use of all major brands of hazardous
petroleum based air tool oils, specifically when one considers Performance, Worker Health & Safety,
Environmental Impact, and a proper Life Cycle Analysis (i.e. BEES - Life Cycle Cost Analysis Tools).
BEES is a true cost assessment when including impacts to eco systems from manufacturing,
usage, and disposal. BEES measures the Environmental Performance of chemical products by using the
Life-Cycle Assessment approach specified in the ISO 14040 series of standards. All stages in the life of a product are
analyzed:
- Installation
- Manufacturing
- Raw Material Acquisition
- Recycling
- Transportation
- Usage
- Waste Management
Economic Performance is measured using the ASTM Standard Life-Cycle Cost Method, which covers the costs of:
- Initial Investment
- Replacement
- Operation
- Maintenance & Repair
- Disposal
Environmental and Economic performance scores are combined into an overall performance measure using the ASTM Standard For Multi-Attribute Decision Analysis.

2002 Farm Bill Act Mandates All Federal Agencies Purchase Biobased Products
Currently, the U.S. government mandates stewardship of our environment explicitly in the 2002 Farm Bill Act.
 Bio Air Tool Oils enable governments and corporations to comply with White House Executive Order 13101, 'Greening of the Government
Through Waste Prevention, Recycling, and Federal Acquisition', issued in 1998 by President William J. Clinton and signed into federal law by
President George W. Bush via the 2002 Farm Bill Act.
The 2002 Farm Bill Act mandates all U.S. Federal Government Agencies
purchase environmentally safe, Biobased, vegetable oil lubricants. Signed into law May 13, 2002,
by President George W. Bush, the new law includes a Federal Biobased Products Preferred Procurement Program (FB4P) which obliges all
federal agencies to purchase biobased products "to the maximum extent practicable."
Products covered by the procurement program include Lubricants, Solvents, Fuel Conditioners, Inks, Paints and Coatings, Plastics,
Adhesives, Cleaners, and more.
The term Biobased Product is spelled out in Section 9002 of the Farm Security & Rural Investment Act of 2002, which says,
"the term 'Biobased Product' means a product determined by the Secretary to be a commercial or industrial product (other than food or feed) that is composed, in whole or in significant part, of biological products or renewable domestic agricultural materials (including plant, animal, and marine materials) or forestry materials."
TITLE IX. Energy is where the procurement preference for Biobased Products is mandated.
