Base oils are generally used for manufacturing products, including lubricating grease, metal processing fluids and motor oil the important factor of its liquid’s viscosity at different temperatures. They are highly refined paraffinic oils that are processed to meet high saturation and low sulphur concentration. These products have good solubility characteristics for additives in product formulation.
Applications
They were used for raw materials for producing an ample variety of lubricants.
