Terminology – Lube Base Stocks 101 S S S While sometimes referred to as solvents, diluents etc. , lubricant base stocks/oils are certainly different They both come from various refining & chemical processes Base Stocks/Oils are from higher Mw cuts and are first intention streams, mostly designed for lubricant formulations minus any additives or additional components They are mixtures of materials unless they are customized “synthetic” chemicals They are available in a wide range of viscosities and chemical pedigrees API (American Petroleum Institute) & SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) both play a key role in defining lubricant performance 9

The Future of Base Stock Streams – Industry experts speak: “For Naphthenics, there will be changes as our stocks will become more hydrotreated. Overall we will probably see a more expensive naphthenic product as these materials will have lighter color, better stability and we may produce tighter cuts that are available to accommodate more niche markets. ” “Lubricant base oil manufacturers around the world will play a continuing, conscientious role in providing formulators with newer approaches to costeffective and even more environmentally responsible options to older lube stock technologies for their finished consumer and industrial applications. Oils that are hydrotreated, isomerized , dewaxed, and hydrofinished to produce more high VI, water-white paraffinic lube oils should find excellent acceptance in diverse and unique applications. ” “ Hydrocarbon-based technologies such as light viscosity base stocks will continue to be available as alternates as regulatory constraints pressure many traditionally acceptable LVP-VOC carrier fluids and diluents. Increasing performance-based parameters driving the available automotive lubricant slate will assure that these products and viscosity cuts will continue to evolve into more unique and viable materials to meet specialty demands as well. ” 28
