Abstract

The technical properties of Crambe abyssinica oil prompted the co‐operation between a research institute and a lubricant producer to determine some possible industrial applications. The results confirm the special physico‐chemical characteristics of crambe oil which, compared with some vegetable or synthetic oils, shows a higher heat removal capability and interesting lubrication characteristics. The research establishes that crambe oil could be a good hydraulic fluid. These findings led to the cultivation of a suitable area with Crambe abyssinica to obtain a sufficient amount of oil for lubricant formulation on a commercial scale.
