Industrial Base Oils for Lubricant Formulation
REVADA Industrial supplies base oils for the development and manufacture ofindustrial lubricants, metalworking fluids and specialist technicalformulations. The right base stock determines viscosity-temperatureperformance, storage stability, additive compatibility and the performance ofthe finished formulation.
Synthetic base oils are used in formulations with demanding requirements foroperating temperature, oxidation stability, fluidity and service life. Theycan be used on their own or in combination with other base components andfunctional additives.
Base Stock Range
The catalogue includes components for a range of lubricant manufacturingapplications:
- Naphthenic oils — components for formulations where good low-temperature performance and solvency are important.
- Polyalkylene glycols (PAGs) — synthetic components selected according to viscosity, solubility and the requirements of a specific formulation.
- Polyalphaolefins and isoparaffins — hydrocarbon base stocks for modern industrial oils and specialist technical fluids.
- Carboxylic acid esters — polar synthetic components for formulations where lubricity and finished product stability are important.
Selecting a Base Stock for the Formulation
When selecting a base stock, it is necessary to consider the intended use ofthe lubricant, the operating temperature range, the required viscosity andcompatibility with the additive package, metals and sealing materials. Formetalworking fluids, behaviour when mixed with water, emulsion stability andthe requirements of subsequent fluid use are also important.
An error during selection can result in phase separation, viscosity changes,insufficient equipment protection or a reduced service life of the finishedproduct. Base components and additives should therefore be evaluated as asingle system.
