Kixx, the lubricant brand of GS Caltex, is expanding its bio-based lubricant product line to include the new Kixx Chain BIO, a biodegradable machine saw oil based on plant-based base oil, in which 98% of the constituent materials are bio-based.
The new product is made using fatty acids extracted from rapeseed, palm, soybean, and sugarcane, making it easily decomposable. It also has the European Union’s ‘EU Eco-Label’ certification, which requires high environmental standards with low ecotoxicity, bioaccumulative properties, and excellent biodegradability. The ‘EU Eco-label’ is a rigorous certification that can only be obtained by products that minimize the environmental impact throughout the entire product life cycle, from raw material extraction to production, distribution, and disposal.
