The results of a laboratory study have been presented; they made it possible to establish that the optimal concentration of the thickener in oil fluctuates within a rather narrow range of 5.0–7.0 wt%. Thus, the obtained greases are identical in quality to the greases of the type Estan 2 (Exxon Co.) and AGIP Grease CC 2 but are much cheaper in produc-tion. The approach to attracting secondary energy resources to the technological process of greases production will meet the existing demand for lubricants and significantly reduce the envi-ronmental burden on the environment.ensecondary hydrocarbon raw materialsplastic greasethickenerbase oilpolyethylene productsquality indicatorsadhesive abilityArticlehttps://orcid.org/0000-0001-5370-7016
