Sepahan Oil produces Group I SN500 base oils, engine oils, industrial lubricants, automobile gear oils, greases and anti-freeze, paraffin, heavy slack wax and rubber processing oil at the Isfahan plant. Animal oils - Lard oil, Tallow oil, Whale oil. Now this recent news from Amyris is pretty interesting since I used to cover a little bit of the base oil industry when I wrote articles for Chemical Market Reporter before on lubricants, greases and waxes. B) Lube Oil Blending –An Overview for Lube Plants. I've tried many different oils, waxes, etc., but none is as good as what is on the chain when the box is opened. Mineral based - Petroleum fractions. Furthermore, as many unwanted substances as possible are removed in the process, such as sulphur, aromatic hydrocarbons, paraffin wax, etc. Paraffinic hydrocarbons are the best lubricants. INTRODUCTION TO BASE OILS: CONSTRUCTION OF STORAGE TANK. I remember when I got into cycling 20+ years ago and working at a shop hearing about pro mechanics that would go through a rather lengthy process to lube the chains with paraffin wax. With VeloLab's findings on the efficacy of paraffin wax for lubing chains, readers are left with questions on how to lube their drivetrains. D) In-Line Blending Important characteristics are low pour points, because of wax free nature and excellent solvency power. The distillation process in the refinery separates the hydrocarbons contained in the crude into cuts based on the molecule size. €�Lately these refiners have decided to get out of production of unrefined waxes,” said Kumar, explaining that more petroleum companies are taking their by-product waxes and further refining them into lubricating oil. I also don't recommend using wax lubricants because while they don't collect as much dirt, they are a lot of hassle to apply correctly, and wax is simply not as good a lubricant as oil. Based on lubricant Physical State. In other words the mineral oil production process is physical cleaning and the end product is so-called paraffinic base oil. Types of lubricants: ADDITIVES USED IN I.L.B. The additives lower the pour point either by forming a thin coating over wax and prevent it from agglomerisation or co precipitate along with wax , thus reducing the freezing point. Vegetable oil - Castor oil, Palm oil, Coconut oil.
