Green Oil products are the greenest chain lubes
and bike cleaners around.
100%
petrochemical free
Green Oil
products are
created from naturally occurring
oils and plant extracts to
provide you with the same
qualities you would expect from
a quality bike maintenance kit.
Biodegradable
Although, Green Oil chain lube remains on the chain longer than most oils, when Green Oil does eventually come off the chain, it will over time biodegrade. The whole Green Oil range is totally biodegradable after its life on your bike.
Not
irritant, not harmful, nor
'dangerous for the environment'
Look on most
chain lube bottles and you will
be horrified to see that not
only are they harmful or
irritant, but that they
explicitly say 'dangerous for
the environment' on the back.
The Green Oil range of products are not harmful, not irritant, and not 'dangerous for the environment'. So the Green Oil range will not harm you, aquatic life or small animals
Not tested on animals
Green Oil products have
not been tested on animals
(unless you call the various
mountain and road cyclists who
first tested it 'animals').
All Green
Oil products use only ingredients that occur
naturally and are safe. None of
the ingredients, nor the
finished product have been
animal tested. Green Oil products
contains no animal products or
by-products, and are suitable for
vegetarians and vegans.
Recyclable, and Re-usable
Reduce, re-use, recycle the
saying goes. Green Oil's bottle
can not only be recycled with
your plastic milk bottles, but
can also be re-used.
Green Oil's bottle has the recycling
code is 2. The cap is
unfortunately made of polypropylene.
This is plastic type 5 and not usual
recyclable.
Green Oil bottles are made out of HDPE,
or 'High Density Polyethylene', with the
recycling code 2 shown above.
All Green Oil
bottles have a recycled paper label.
This can be removed, and recycled
again, possibly into a new Green Oil
label!
CFC Free
Green Oil
products are all CFC free, but CFCs
were pretty much banned in 1993
under the Montreal Protocol.
'CFC free' is meaningless
marketing today.
100% palm oil
free
Green Oil's ingredients are
a trade secret, they are
sustainably sourced and half the ingredients are
organic. However, bio-fuels,
vegetable oil, and even shampoo
often contain 'palm oil'.
Palm oil is a
useful fuel to keep car culture
going, a cheap cooking substance
to keep up the old obesity
rates, and useful to 'bulk up'
supermarket items, like cheap
peanut butter and shampoo.
The problem
with this? Palm oil relies on
vast swathes of rainforest being
cleared. Great, bio-diverse
areas are destroyed and replaced
by vast palm oil plantations.
They even burn rainforest and
peat bogs in order to grow palm
oil, outweighing any carbon
neutrality of using the end
product.
This is at
the expense of the environment,
wildlife (especially orang-utans)
and indigenous people.
Green Oil
is therefore 100% palm oil free.

Green Oil's award
winning lubricant formula contains advanced
long-chain molecules to reduce friction.
These
polymers also repel water molecules. This
inhibits rust and corrosion, prolonging
the chain's mechanical life.
Green Oil degreasing and cleaning
products are a blend of 100% natural
ingredients.
Green Oil bottles are
thermoplastic which can be repeatedly
softened by heating and hardened again
on cooling, this means it can be
repeatedly recycled.
How
Green Oil products are produced
Green Oil products' formula is a trade
secret, a patent application currently
being completed.
Green Oil products are
manufactured from naturally occurring
plant extracts, a blend of which
produces a high performance lubricant or
extremely effective degreaser or
cleaner. Green Oil products contains no
animal derivatives.
Green
Oil chain lube's components are balanced to give a
high-performance lubricant that stays on
the chain.
Green
Oil chain lube protects from rust and gives a
smooth, low friction ride.
A chain lube
fact
A well oiled
chain can make a bicycle more than
ninety eight per cent efficient at
converting your kinetic energy into
moving your bike forward.
Protection from rust and corrosion
Green Oil chain lube protects the bike
chain from rust and corrosion, it also
repels water for minimum fuss.
With Clean Chain you can degrease your
chain without taking it off your bike

friendly products.
Anti-wear protection
Green Oil technology promotes chain
longevity. Green Oil products offer
excellent anti-wear performance. Chains
last longer when properly degreased,
cleaned and lubricated, saving the
world’s resources, and your money.

smell like a petrol/gas station, and are
not unpleasant to use. Green Oil
products are non-toxic for a more
pleasant working and riding environment.
