SN 150 Base Oil Group I
Group I are hydro-cracked base oils. They are produced by undergoing hydro-processing which increases the level of saturates and purge out impurities. Having fair to good performance in lubricating properties such as volatility, oxidative stability and flash/fire points.They are defined as having a V.I between 80 and 120 a level of sulphur lower than 0.03% and are less polar with values less than 10 pS/m very low conductivity. for
Applications
- Transformer oil, ink oil
- Marine oil
- Industrial gear oil
- Automatic transmission fluid
- White oil process oil
- Gear oil, Axle oil
Advantages
- Better oxidation control and Improved NOACK stability
- Enhance viscosity control and Better base number retention
- Reduces wear on engine components
A Refined Solution for High-Performance Lubricants
SN 150 Base Oil Group I is one of the most commonly used base oils in the production of high-quality lubricants. It is produced through a refining process called hydrocracking, which improves its chemical structure, making it more stable and efficient than lower-quality oils.
Refining Process
The production of Group I base oils begins with crude oil. First, the oil undergoes a hydrocracking process, where it is subjected to high pressure and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. As a result, the process breaks down the long hydrocarbon chains found in crude oil, which in turn reduces the levels of impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen. Consequently, the end result is a base oil with a higher degree of purity. Additionally, it provides more consistent per[pformance across a wide range of operating conditions.
Characteristics
Group I base oils have several key characteristics that make them suitable for a variety of applications:
- High Purity: The hydrocracking process reduces impurities, making Group I oils cleaner and more stable.
- Low Volatility: Group II oils have lower volatility, meaning they evaporate less at high temperatures, improving the longevity of lubricants.
- Improved Oxidation Stability: Group I oils resist oxidation better than Group I oils, preventing the formation of sludge and deposits in engines and machinery.
- Good Low-Temperature Performance: While not as low as Group III oils, Group I oils still perform well at lower temperatures, making them suitable for various climates and conditions.
- Enhanced Viscosity Index: Group I oils typically have a higher viscosity index, meaning they maintain their thickness and lubricating properties across a wider range of temperatures.
