Solvent Neutral Base Oil 500 SN

Description

1. Product Overview

Solvent Neutral Base Oil 500 SN is a high-quality Group I mineral base oil, refined through solvent extraction and hydrofinishing to achieve a balanced viscosity and saturation profile. It is primarily used as a raw material in the production of industrial lubricants, hydraulic oils, and metalworking fluids. The key value proposition lies in its superior solvency, thermal stability, and compatibility with additives, ensuring consistent end-product performance. Strategically, it remains a cost-effective backbone for mid-tier lubricant formulations in markets where Group II/III penetration is still emerging.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Saturated hydrocarbons (approx. 65–70%) + aromatic content (25–30%), sulfur <0.5%

• Purity/grade: Industrial grade, Group I, solvent neutral

• Physical characteristics:

  • Viscosity @ 40°C: 90–110 cSt

  • Viscosity index: 90–99

  • Flash point (COC): >220°C

  • Pour point: -9°C to -6°C

  • Appearance: Clear & bright, free from sediment

• Packaging options: Bulk (ISO tanks, flexibags), 20L pails, 200L drums, or IBC totes

• Shelf life: 24 months in original sealed container, stored between 5–35°C away from moisture/oxidants

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Lubricant blending, automotive aftermarket, heavy machinery, metal processing

• Specific use cases:

  • Engine oils (monograde HDEO & marine grades)

  • Hydraulic oils (ISO 68/100 grades)

  • Industrial gear oils, circulating oils, and process oils for rubber/plastic compounding

• Performance advantage: Superior additive solubility vs. Group II oils reduces formulation costs; lower volatility vs. lighter SN grades minimizes oil consumption in high-temp operations

• Efficiency & cost benefit: Enables re-refining possibilities and extends drain intervals in moderate-duty applications, lowering total cost of ownership for end users

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Lot-to-lot uniformity via closed-loop refining controls; ISO 9001:2021 certified production

• Supply reliability: Multi-region feedstock agreements and buffer stock of 10,000+ MT ensure 24/7 dispatch capability

• Logistics capability: Door-to-door delivery via rail, tanker truck, or sea containers; real-time tracking on B2B portal

• Price competitiveness: 8–12% lower T1 pricing than regional Group I averages via direct refinery partnerships

• Sustainability benefit: Lower carbon footprint than virgin naphthenic equivalents; compatible with re-refining infrastructure

• Technical support: Full COA, MSDS, and formulation consulting included; additive compatibility reports on request

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): BULK 20 metric tons (MT)

• Loading capacity per container:

  • 20FT ISO tank: 20–22 MT

  • Flexibag inside 20GP container: 18–20 MT

  • Drums (200L) on pallet: 16–18 MT per 20GP (80 drums)
