Rubber Process Oils for Rubber Manufacturing

Rubber process oils (RPO) function as internal lubricants, improve the blending of the rubber formulations, facilitate the incorporation of fillers and other additives, improve certain physical characteristics, and function as low-cost extenders. Group I plant closures and restriction on use of high poly aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) content oils for tire manufacturing in Europe has created an opening for new products to penetrate this market. Against this backdrop, this report explores market opportunities for aromatic, paraffinic, and naphthenic rubber process oils.

Max petroleum's paraffinic oil and aromatic rubber process oils for polymer manufacturing and rubber compounding carry the unique imprint of HollyFrontier Tulsa Refinery’s long and close association with the Rubber Industry.

  • Bunker
  • DG set

LDO (Light Diesel Oil) is largely an industrial fuel. It acts as a key ingredient in the generation of electricity and heat in a number of production units. It has been used since a long time for such purposes and has gained much importance and inevitable value.

The LDO (Light Diesel Oil)) consists of Medium length chains of hydrogen and carbon mainly alkanes, cycloalkanes, aromatics and oils. Basically LDO (Light Diesel Oil) is termed for medium commercial extracts from crude oil.

LDO (Light Diesel Oil) is widely used by various industries in thier manufacturing activities for the purpose of generation of heat and power. It has a lower flash point compared to heavier Fuel Oil (FO), for easier ignition.
