The prime factor that is contributing to the demand for industrial absorbents is mainly the rising sternness of environment-related regulations on chemical and oil spills.

Bio-Lubricants are triglyceride esters obtained from plant oil, animal fat or mineral oil?based products. Such lubricants are both rapidly biodegradable and non?toxic to humans and aquatic environments. The rising demand for eco-friendly products all across the globe is augmenting the demand for bio-lubricants. However, high cost in comparison to petroleum-based products might hinder the market growth.
