Base Oil
Base oil in petroleum products refers to a refined, lubricating oil derived from crude oil through a complex refining process. It serves as the primary component in the formulation of various lubricants, such as motor oils, hydraulic fluids, and industrial lubricants. Base oil provides essential properties, including viscosity, thermal stability, and oxidation resistance, enhancing the overall performance and longevity of lubricating oils in machinery and engines.
Base oil is a fundamental component in the formulation of motor oils, hydraulic fluids, gear oils, and other lubricants. Its versatility makes it suitable for use in a wide range of industries, from automotive and manufacturing to aviation and marine applications.
