Reduced
Friction
Base oils provide a slippery film that minimizes friction between moving parts, reducing wear and tear.
Heat
Dissipation
They help transfer heat away from critical components, preventing overheating and extending equipment life.
Cleaning
Action
Base oils can help suspend and carry away contaminants, dirt, and debris, keeping machinery cleaner.
Oxidation
Stability
High-quality base oils resist oxidation, which helps maintain their effectiveness over time and prolongs lubricant life.
Business Activities
Base oil is an important component in the lubricants industry, with various applications in the production of lubricating oils, industrial fluids, and other chemical products. Our key business activities related to base oil:
Base Oil Production: We often produce base oil from crude oil through processes such as distillation and chemical treatment to create high-purity and quality oils.
Trade and Distribution: Businesses may import or manufacture base oil and then distribute it to lubricant manufacturers or other industries.
Research and Development: Invest in R&D to improve the quality of base oil, develop new products, or optimize production processes.
Compliance with Standards: We also need to adhere to international quality and safety standards, such as API (American Petroleum Institute) and ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers Association).
PROPERTIES OF BASE OILS
VISCOSITY: Measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, critical for maintaining lubrication under various temperatures.
VISCOSITY INDEX: Indicates how much a fluid's viscosity changes with temperature; higher values are desirable for stability.
FLASH POINT: The temperature at which a fluid can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in air; higher flash points are safer.
POUR POINT: The lowest temperature at which the oil remains fluid; lower pour points are essential for cold-weather performance.

Environmental Considerations
Biodegradable Options: Some base oils are derived from renewable resources, like vegetable oils, which are biodegradable. This reduces the environmental impact compared to synthetic oils, which may persist in the environment for longer periods.
Lower Toxicity: Eco-friendly base oils often have lower toxicity levels, making them safer for both aquatic life and human health. This is especially important for applications where spills or leaks can occur.
Reduced Emissions: Using high-quality base oils can enhance the efficiency of engines and machinery, leading to lower fuel consumption and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Recycling and Reusing: Many base oils can be recycled and re-refined, minimizing waste and reducing the need for new raw materials, which helps conserve natural resources.
