Base Oil Group – I

SN150

Description:
SN 150 is a light-grade Group I solvent neutral base oil produced through solvent refining and dewaxing of paraffinic crude oil, followed by hydrofinishing. With its low viscosity and good solvency, SN 150 is widely used in the formulation of light-duty engine oils, hydraulic fluids, transformer oils, and industrial lubricants. Its excellent additive compatibility and consistent performance make it a reliable choice for a broad range of lubricant blending needs.

Production Process:

• Solvent Extraction: Removes aromatic compounds to enhance oxidative stability
• Solvent Dewaxing: Improves cold flow properties
• Hydrofinishing: Enhances appearance, color, and stability

Key Technical Properties (Typical Values):

• Viscosity @ 100°C: ~4.8–5.5 cSt
• Viscosity Index (VI): 95–105
• Flash Point (COC): >200°C
• Pour Point: -9°C to -12°C
• Color (ASTM D1500):0–L1.5
• Sulfur Content: >0.03%
• Density @ 15°C: ~0.865–0.875 kg/L
• Aromatic Content: Moderate – aids in additive solubility

Benefits:

• Excellent oxidative and thermal stability under standard conditions
• Low volatility and good cold flow performance
• High solvency for effective dispersion of additive packages
• Consistent quality ideal for precision blending
• Economical solution for light-duty lubricant applications

Applications:

• Automotive: Light-duty engine oils, transmission fluids
• Industrial: Hydraulic oils, turbine oils, circulating lubricants
• Transformer Oils: Non-critical applications where high solvency is beneficial
• Metalworking: Light cutting oils, machining fluids
• Rubber & Plastic Processing: As a process oil or plasticizer

Packaging Options:
