This is motivated by the need to reduce the high cost and upgrade the quality of Sodium-based greases available in our local markets motivated the present study. This is realizable by using polypropylene, low-density polyethylene, base-oils, and vegetable oils from Nigerian industries (petroleum and petrochemical industries). The quality of sodium ¨C based greases obtained in the Nigerian market need to be improved %K Iheme C %K Offurum J.C. and Chukwuma F.O %K Blending %K Sodium base %K Water-resistant %K Lubricating Grease %K Petrochemical %U https://www.imedpub.com/abstract/production-and-blending-of-sodium-basedrnwaterresistant-lubricating-greases-fromrnpetroleum-and-petrochemical-byproducts-10062.html
