步。“Barbieri说。
Barbieri又说，但由于植物
油较高的成本，公司计划以低于
PAO的价格进行销售；不大可能
与三类油的价格进行竞争。
Biosynthetic Technolo-
gies的首席技术官认为“目前看
来采用交酯的最大障碍是在不同
应用的多种配方中验证其性能。
配方研制、测试和认证可能是一
个很长的过程。”
虽然如此，Marley说，全球
的油品公司、汽车制造商和成品
油销售商对PCMO市场表示了
极大的兴趣。其中有些公司正在
开发自己的配方，Biosynthetic
Technologies正在与主要的添
加剂公司进行合作，获取发动机
油配方的ILSAC GF-5批准，预计
可以年底前完成。这些配方将提
供给有兴趣销售环境友好、高性
能全合成发动机油的销售商。
公司采用一种“简单、催化驱
动的化学反应工艺。如此，公司可
以与世界各地无数的化工厂进行
合作，以常用的化工设备来生产
这些产品。” Barbieri说。
Marley说，“要知道这些新
的化学品在哪些应用中可以一展
身手、提升润滑油和其他化工领
域”还需数年的时间。但，这些新
产品具有新的性能和环境友好
特性，研究人员将不断找到新的
利用这些产品方法来，未来充满
希望。
“事情的发展快于我们的预
期，我们对这种新的突破性的技
术的未来充满信心。” Barbieri
说。
But, because of the higher
cost of vegetable oil, Barbieri says
the company plans to release its
estolide at or below PAO prices.
He says it is unlikely that they can
compete with Group III prices.
Biosynthetic Technologies’
CTO believes that “The greatest
obstacle in the adoption of es-
tolides thus far has been validat-
ing the performance of these new
oils in the multiple formulations
in a wide variety of applications.
Formulating, testing and certify-
ing can be a lengthy process."
Nonetheless, Marley said that
the PCMO market is attracting
great interest from global oil
companies, automotive OEMs
and finished fluid marketers.
While several of these compa-
nies are working on their own
formulations, Biosynthetic
Technologies is working with a
major additive company to get
ILSAC GF-5 approval for a motor
oil formulation, which should
be completed before year end.
The formulation will be made
available to lube marketers inter-
ested in selling environmentally
friendly, high-performance fully
synthetic motor oil.
The company uses a “simple,
catalyst-driven chemical reaction
process. As such, the company
could partner with numerous
chemical plants around the world
to manufacture these products
using common chemical equip-
ment,” Barbieri said.
It will take years "before
we know all of the applications
where these new chemicals can
impact and improve lubricants
and other chemical sectors," said
Marley. But the future is promis-
ing as researchers continue to
find ways to utilize the products'
novel performance and environ-
mental characteristics, he said.
“Things are moving quickly
for us and we continue to be
excited about the prospects of
this novel disruptive technology,”
Barbieri said.
