SN500 Base Oil
SN500 Base Oil: High-Performance Foundation for Lubricants
Base oils are the essential building blocks of lubricants, directly influencing their efficiency and durability. According to the American Petroleum Institute (API) classification, base oils are categorized into five groups, each with unique properties and applications. SN500, a Group I virgin base oil, is produced through solvent refining of paraffinic crude oil, offering a cost-effective and reliable solution for various lubricant formulations.
Characteristics
- Produced through solvent refining
- Higher viscosity (approximately 500 SUS at 40°C)
- Viscosity Index (VI): 80–90
- Sulfur Content: >0.03%
- Typically darker color with moderate oxidative stability
Applications
- Gasoline and diesel engine oils
- Industrial lubricants
- Greases and specialty products
Advantages
- Cost-effective and widely available
- Stable performance during operation
- Low volatility
- Suitable viscosity index
Packaging
SN500 is available in various packaging options, including bulk, barrel, flexi tank, iso tank, and IBC.
Recycled Base Oils
In addition to virgin SN500, premium-quality recycled base oils are available. Sourced from carefully collected used lubricants, these oils undergo advanced refining processes such as hydrotreating and distillation to achieve high purity and performance comparable to virgin base oils. Recycled base oils provide competitive pricing and environmental sustainability, reducing procurement costs, conserving natural resources, and supporting a greener future without compromising performance.
Why Choose SN500?
SN500 base oil is an ideal choice for manufacturers seeking a high-viscosity, cost-effective solution for producing reliable lubricants. Its versatility makes it suitable for engine oils, industrial lubricants, and greases, ensuring consistent performance. The availability of recycled SN500 further enhances its appeal by offering a sustainable option that aligns with environmental goals without sacrificing quality.
