What’s in Stan’s Biobased Products?

We only use biobased and eco-friendly ingredients in our formulas. This means no harmful petro-based additives, synthetic oils, or toxic organic solvents.

Non-Toxic

Petroleum-Free

PTFE-Free

100% Biodegradable

Antioxidants

We use potent natural antioxidants from plants to help preserve and extend the life of our biobased formulas. Using the best quality antioxidants is essential to keep the products stable and protect them from breaking down due to oxidation.

Oleochemicals

Oleochemicals are natural compounds made from plant and animal fats. These materials come in many forms, and we combine them in different ways to create the performance features we need for our products.

Seed Oils

Seed oils are natural oils extracted from seeds like canola, hemp, and corn. These oils offer a variety of benefits, and when combined in the right way, create a base oil that outperforms synthetic and petroleum-based oils.

Emulsifite Technology

How Emulsifite Technology Works

Emulsifite surfactant additives in Stan’s Biobased Wet Chain Lube allow for particles to wrap around oil droplets and drag them off the chain when applied with high pressure water. Due to the low concentration of emulsifites, it takes a heavy, continuous flow of water from a hose to cause the emulsifites to activate.

The Benefits of Emulsifite Technology

Emulsifiers help remove grime buildup from wet conditions, making it easier for riders who clean their drivetrain regularly to keep it spotless. Emulsifite Technology makes it possible for riders to pedal through rain, puddles, and even streams without losing all of the oil, but still easily clean it off using high-pressure water from a hose and a brush.

Biobased Triple Esters

How We Utilize Biobased Triple Esters

Biobased triple ester technology adds functionality to Stan’s Biobased chain lube and ForkBoost products. Triple Esters add superior oxidative stability to petroleum-based oils, as well as a dynamic boost in lubricity and anti-wear. Advanced biotechnology and materials science were harnessed to create a triple ester oil from triglyceride molecules by blending and reacting certain modified vegetable oils, oleochemicals, and antioxidants. This gives the molecules optimal polarity, molecular weight and film-forming ability to bind and coat metal surfaces, providing exceptional lubricity and protection against wear. This results in a very smooth and efficient damping, a long suspension and seal life, with no environmental compromise.
