Description
1. Product Overview
Base Oil Group III 500N is a premium-grade hydrocracked base oil produced through advanced hydroisomerization and hydroprocessing technologies. Characterized by high viscosity index, exceptional purity, and very low sulfur content, it serves as a critical base stock for manufacturing high-performance lubricants.
Its primary industrial use is in the formulation of premium engine oils, synthetic-blend lubricants, and high-performance industrial oils. The key value proposition lies in its superior oxidation stability, low volatility, and excellent thermal performance. Strategically, Group III 500N base oil enables lubricant manufacturers to meet stringent OEM specifications and global emissions standards while delivering enhanced lubricant longevity and engine protection.
