Base Oil SN 350 is a medium stock base oil produced from the vacuum distillates and residual components using the traditional refining methods. It has viscosity 8-9,5 cSt at 100C and 67-70 cSt at 40C. SN 350 is used in lubricant and lubricant additives production, mainly for industrial applications. The main benefits of SN 350 base oils are low sulphur content, high viscosity index, high oxidation stability and good susceptibility to the additives.

Base Oil SN 500 is defined as a light grade base oil at the upper end of the specifications for Grade I base oils. It is mostly used in lubricant production. It is a Group I base oil which has undergone solvent refining processes. To finish the refining it was hydrogen treated to clear out any impurities. Applications : Base Oil SN 500 works as a base stock for several industrial lubricants Engine oils Transmission fluids Gear oils Metal working fluids Greases Hydraulic oils Transformer oils

Base oils are important basic raw materials for any lubricants included engine oils, gear oils, industrial oils, metal working fluids, hydraulic fluids and also greases. In most of the lubricants 70-90% ingredient is base oils. As per API classification Base oils can be grouped majorly into five groups, i.e., Group-I/II/III/IV/V. The base oil characteristics are very important in determining the quality of the finished product. Group I base oils are solvent-refined, which is a simpler refining process. This is why they are the cheapest base oils on the market.
