Abstract There is an increasing demand on the market for environmentally compatible lubricants. Refined vegetable oils have been used as biolubricants, but synthetic esters from renewable resources could also be considered and can prepared by combining different alcohols with linear or branched fatty acids. A tool has developed to predict properties of based chemical structure. multilinear approach was correlate experimental viscosity theoretical parameters (diffusion coefficient, dipole moment solvation energy) calculated expected structure a high degree correlation.
