Hydrocracked Base Oil Blend (High VI)

Description

1. Product Overview

Hydrocracked Base Oil Blend (High VI) is a high-purity Group II+ base stock produced via catalytic hydrocracking and hydroisomerization, resulting in near-saturate hydrocarbon composition. It is primarily used as the foundational lubricant component in engine oils, hydraulic fluids, gear oils, and transmission fluids across heavy industry and commercial transport. The key value proposition lies in its exceptional viscosity index (≥115) combined with low volatility and high thermal stability, enabling longer oil life and reduced friction. Strategically, it offers a cost-efficient bridge between conventional Group I/II oils and premium full-synthetic Group III, making it critical for formulators balancing performance and raw material budgets.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Highly saturated hydrocarbons (≥90% saturates), low sulfur (≤300 ppm), negligible aromatics

• Purity level / Grade: Group II+ (API Base Oil classification), Viscosity Index ≥115

• Physical characteristics: Bright, clear liquid; free of particulate and water; typical viscosity grades available (VG 32, 46, 68, 100); density ~0.85–0.87 g/cm³ at 15°C

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

• Shelf life: 24 months minimum when stored indoors in sealed, non-corrosive containers; avoid extreme temperatures >60°C

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Heavy-duty engine oils (HDEOs): Performs better than standard Group II by reducing piston deposits and oil thickening under high soot loads. Extends drain intervals by 30–40% in long-haul trucking and mining fleets.

• Industrial hydraulic systems (high-pressure, high cycle): Delivers superior hydrolytic stability and varnish control compared to solvent-refined oils, lowering unplanned downtime in injection molding and steel mills.

• Gear and transmission oils (wind turbines, off-highway equipment): High VI ensures stable film thickness across arctic to desert ambient temperatures, reducing gear scuffing and improving energy efficiency by ~3–5% over equivalent monograde oils.

• Metalworking fluids (as a bright stock blend component): Lower misting and higher flash point improve shop-floor safety and fluid longevity.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Every batch meets ASTM D6074 and DIN 51506 specs; full COA available per shipment with <2% variability in VI and NOACK.

• Supply reliability: Dedicated hydrocracker capacity with buffer storage of 15,000 MT, enabling 7-day lead times for contract buyers.

• Logistics capability: Rail, tanker truck, and break-bulk shipping from three regional hubs (Rotterdam, Houston, Singapore).

• Price competitiveness: Priced 15–20% below conventional Group III-equivalent blends, while delivering 80% of the performance gains.

• Sustainability: Lower carbon footprint than full-synthetic options; compatible with re-refined base oil streams for circular lubricant formulations.

• Technical support: Application engineers provide blend recipe optimization and field validation support for ISO 21469-certified facilities.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 20 metric tons (MT) per product grade

• Loading capacity (MT per container): 24 MT per 20-ft dry container (flexitank); 21 MT per ISO tank container
