Base oil 150, also known as SN150, is a type of lubricating oil classified as a Group I base stock. It is a light viscosity oil produced from highly refined paraffinic crude oil. Paraffinic crude oil is a type of crude oil with a high content of n-alkanes (straight-chain hydrocarbons).
The refining process for SN150 typically involves solvent extraction to remove impurities and unwanted components from the crude oil. This results in a high-quality base oil with good performance characteristics.
Here are some of the common applications of base oil 150:
- Motor oil: SN150 can be used in the formulation of various motor oils for gasoline and diesel engines. Its good oxidation resistance and thermal stability make it suitable for applications where the engine oil is exposed to high temperatures.
- Industrial lubricants: This base oil is also used in a variety of industrial lubricants, including:
- Hydraulic oils
- Gear oils
- Metalworking fluids
- Cutting oils
- Compressor oils
- Grease manufacturing: SN150 can be used as a base stock for the production of greases.
Key properties of base oil 150:
- Low viscosity: Compared to other base oil grades, SN150 has a relatively low viscosity. This makes it suitable for applications where good fluidity at low temperatures is required.
- Good oxidation resistance: SN150 has good resistance to oxidation, which helps to prevent the oil from thickening and degrading over time.
- Adequate anti-wear properties: It can help to protect metal surfaces from wear and tear.
- Good solvency: SN150 has good solvency properties, which allows it to dissolve and disperse additives effectively. These additives enhance the performance of the final lubricant product.
Overall, base oil 150 is a versatile and cost-effective lubricant base stock used in various applications. However, due to its lower viscosity and performance characteristics compared to higher-grade base oils, it may not be suitable for the most demanding applications
