Description: The development of extreme pressure (EP) additives is increasingly important for improving the performance of lubricants under high temperature and pressure. Due to the growing focus on environmental sustainability, sulfurized vegetable oils are being studied as renewable sources for EP additive production. These bio-based alternatives have a smaller environmental impact compared to traditional synthetic additives. The success of the synthesis depends on key factors such as reaction temperature, sulfur content, and the natural composition of the used vegetable oil. These parameters need to be carefully controlled to achieve better lubricating properties. The use of appropriate catalysts can help improve product stability and quality. In the current phase of the research, additive samples were produced in catalytic synthesises using the selected sulfur donor and technology. The physico-chemical properties of the samples were investigated and standard testing procedures were executed, including application-specific tests. Based on the results of the physico-chemical and application tests, it was found that the synthesized bio-based additives are suitable for use in modern industrial lubricants.
