- Base Oil
Base oils are the primary ingredients in lubricants, acting as the main medium for delivering lubrication and providing essential properties such as viscosity, stability, and performance. These oils are derived from crude oil or synthetic processes and are classified into different types based on their source, refining process, and performance characteristics. The quality of a base oil significantly influences the overall performance of lubricants, such as engine oils, industrial oils, and greases. Below are the main types of base oils:
1. Mineral Base Oils
Mineral base oils are the most commonly used type of base oil and are derived from the distillation and refining of crude oil. They can be further refined to produce different grades of oils, ranging from low to high viscosity. Mineral oils are widely used in automotive and industrial applications due to their good lubricating properties and cost-effectiveness.
Group I:
Petromar fze are the most basic form of mineral oils, produced through conventional refining processes (solvent refining). They offer moderate performance, with good oxidative stability and low pour points but are less suited for extreme conditions.
Group II:
Petromar fze oils undergo more advanced refining processes, such as hydrocracking, to improve purity and performance. Group II oils provide better stability, lower volatility, and superior oxidation resistance compared to Group I oils. They are commonly used in high-performance automotive oils and industrial lubricants.
Group III:
Also produced through hydrocracking, Group III oils are highly refined, offering excellent oxidation stability, high viscosity index, and low volatility. Group III base oils are used in high-end automotive oils and premium lubricants due to their superior performance and longer service life.
2. Synthetic Base Oils
Synthetic base oils are artificially manufactured using chemical processes that allow for precise control over molecular structure. These oils provide superior performance in extreme temperatures, longer drain intervals, and enhanced protection against wear and tear.
