Base Oil 500N (Group II)

Description

1. Product Overview

Base Oil 500N (Group II) is a high-purity, hydroprocessed mineral base oil with saturate levels exceeding 90% and sulfur content below 0.03%. It is primarily used as the foundational component in industrial lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and high-performance engine oils. The key value proposition is its superior viscosity stability and oxidation resistance compared to Group I bases, enabling longer equipment life and reduced maintenance costs. Strategically, it bridges the gap between conventional oils and premium synthetics, making it essential for manufacturers upgrading their lubricant portfolios under tightening emissions and efficiency regulations.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Hydrotreated heavy paraffinic distillate (CAS 64742-54-7); saturates ≥90%, sulfur ≤0.03% (ASTM D2007)

• Purity / Grade: API Group II; premium industrial grade

• Physical characteristics: Clear, bright liquid; light yellow to water-white color; viscosity index (VI) 95–110; kinematic viscosity @40°C: 95–105 cSt; pour point -9°C to -15°C

• Packaging options: Bulk ISO tanks, flexitanks (20,000L), new steel drums (200L), or IBC totes (1,000L)

• Shelf life: 24 months in sealed, dry, contaminant-free storage; avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Automotive lubricant blending, industrial hydraulic systems, metalworking fluids, transformer oils, and marine crankcase oils

• Specific use cases: Formulating high-duty hydraulic fluids (ISO VG 68–100), long-drain engine oils (API CK-4, SL), and compressor lubricants

• Performance advantage over alternatives: Lower volatility than Group I, reducing oil top-off costs by 12–18%; higher VI enables stable operation across -15°C to 120°C, unlike naphthenic bases

• Efficiency gain: Up to 30% longer drain intervals in heavy equipment due to oxidation stability (Rotary Pressure Vessel Oxidation Test >180 min)

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Produced from single-source hydroprocessing units with ISO 9001:2025 and API Group II certification; full batch traceability

• Supply reliability: Multi-region stock hubs (Asia, Middle East, Europe) guaranteeing 99.2% on-time delivery for contracted volumes

• Logistics capability: Shipper-owned ISO tanks; 24/7 dispatch for bulk orders >100MT; door-to-door Incoterms (CIF, CFR, FOB)

• Price competitiveness: Direct refinery contract eliminates 2–3 intermediary margins; fixed quarterly pricing available for 500MT+ annual commitments

• Sustainability: Low-SAP (sulfur, aromatics, phosphorus) profile reduces SOx emissions during blending; supports finished lubricants aiming for carbon footprint reduction (Scope 3)

5. Commercial & Supply Information

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

• Loading capacity per container: 20MT per 20’ ISO tank container or flexitank in 20’ DV; for drums: 16MT per 20’ general purpose container (80 drums of 200L)
