Newly refined crude oil is referred to as virgin base oil, it has not been previously used and sets the bar for oil quality. Once used in any way, it is then referred to as used oil and can then go through further refinement to be considered recycled or re-refined
Virgin is the mostly commonly used oil found within a wide spectrum of lubricant products on the market and is also used to formulate superior passenger car motor oils, heavy duty motor oils, automatic transmission fluids, and also has agriculture, detergents/dispersants, greases, hydraulic fluids and oils, metalworking, and food contact applications.

Re-refined oils are not dirty, or lesser in quality than pure, they have an increasingly important role to play in developing sustainable eco-friendly options for the industry.
We work closely with refineries all around the world, helping clients deliver on their environmental values.
The re-refining of oils has come a long way since being carried out for the first time in Germany in 1921.
The treatment technology has developed from simple distillation over clay and sulphuric acid, to state-of-the-art hydro-treatment technology now producing higher quality oils as good as or often better than the virgin base stock.
The process of re-refining is aimed at recovering a valuable resource of mineral base oil. It requires the removal of all contaminants and used additives, so the re-refined base oil can then be combined with a fresh additive package to bring it up to industry performance levels.
If you want to understand more about the benefits of using re-refined base oils, our expert team will be happy to help.

Natural Waxes (Paraffin Waxes):-
Obtained from the light lubricating oil distillates and composed of around 90% straight-chain hydrocarbons (20 to 30 carbon atoms).
Animal (beeswax, lanolin, tallow)
Vegetable (carnauba, candelilla)
Fossil or mineral (ceresin, montan, ozokerite)
Petroleum (paraffin, microcrystalline, petrolatum)
Synthetic waxes (Microcrystalline waxes):-
Obtained through mixing heavy lubricant oil distillates and residual oils, these waxes have a loosely defined crystalline structure, a darker colour and generally have a higher melting point and viscosity than paraffin's.
Ethylenic polymers (polyethylene and polyol ether-esters)
Chlorinated naphtalenes
