is produced by means of refining crude oil. This means that crude oil is heated in order that various distillaters can be separated from one another. There are three types of base oils: mineral, vegetable, and synthetic.
Base Oil Classification:
1. SN 150 (Solvent Neutral 150):
2. SN 500 (Solvent Neutral 500):
Overall Classification: Base oils, such as SN 150 and SN 500, are categorized based on their properties and viscosity. These base oils serve as essential components in the production of various lubricants and industrial fluids, each offering specific characteristics to meet different application needs.
