Naphthenic Base Oil 100N

Description

1. Product Overview

Naphthenic Base Oil 100N is a refined, low-aromatic hydrocarbon oil derived from naphthenic crude stocks, characterized by its low pour point and high solvency. It is primarily used as a process oil in transformer oil formulations, rubber compounding, and industrial lubricants. The key value proposition is its exceptional thermal and oxidation stability, which reduces sludge formation and extends equipment life. Strategically, it is indispensable for manufacturers seeking to meet stringent dielectric and low-temperature performance standards in energy and automotive supply chains.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Low-saturates naphthenic hydrocarbon blend (cycloalkane >55%)

• Packaging options: Bulk ISO tanks, flexitanks (20MT), 200L new steel drums (palletized)

• Shelf life: 36 months in sealed, dry, unheated warehouse conditions

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Transformer oil manufacturing: Dissolves oxidation inhibitors and provides high dielectric strength; outperforms paraffinic oils due to lower wax content and superior cold-start performance.

• Rubber compounding (SBR, NR, EPDM): Acts as an extender oil with excellent compatibility; reduces Mooney viscosity and improves low-temperature flexibility better than highly aromatic oils (lower PAH).

• Metalworking fluids (rolling oils, industrial greases): Provides controlled evaporation and residue-free wetting; outperforms conventional mineral oils in cooling and tool-life extension.

• Drilling fluids (oil-based muds): Functions as a base carrier with high solvency for emulsifiers; more biodegradable than paraffinic equivalents.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: ISO 9001:2025 certified batch conformance with full GC-MS and FTIR traceability.

• Supply reliability: Direct refinery allocation with dedicated 40,000MT monthly capacity and bonded warehousing in three continents (Asia, EU, GCC).

• Logistics capability: 20MT flexitank or bulk vessel loading; average lead time 10–14 days EXW to major ports.

• Price competitiveness: Long-term contract indexation (ICIS, Argus) with volume rebates above 500MT/quarter.

• Sustainability & compliance: Low-aromatic (<3%) and meets REACH, RoHS, and EU 10/2011 food-contact incidental standards; no ozone-depleting substances.

5. Commercial & Supply Information
