500N is a highly refined, higher-viscosity neutral base stock designed for a wide range of automotive, industrial, and specialty lubricant formulations.
As a highly refined Group II base oil, 500N is characterized by high saturation, very low sulfur content, and a balanced viscosity profile. These properties make it a versatile base stock for formulations requiring reliable viscosity performance and effective lubricating film characteristics under demanding operating conditions.
Key Benefits
Highly Refined Composition
Advanced refining technology provides a highly refined base stock with a clean hydrocarbon composition, suitable for modern lubricant formulations. Colour of 500N is usually water white (or Saybolt +30 colour).
Oxidation Resistance
The highly saturated hydrocarbon structure supports oxidation resistance in finished lubricant formulations, contributing to reliable performance under demanding operating conditions.
Low Sulfur Content
The low sulfur profile contributes to a clean base stock and supports the formulation of modern high-performance lubricants.
High Viscosity Contribution
As a higher-viscosity neutral base stock, usually between 10,0 and 12,0 cSt @ 100C, base oil 500N provides a significant contribution to the viscosity and lubricating film characteristics of finished formulations.
High-Temperature Formulation Characteristics
The viscosity profile and high flash point of 500N support its use in lubricant formulations exposed to elevated operating temperatures.
Formulation Flexibility
Its refined composition and Group II characteristics make 500N suitable for blending with other base stock components and for use in a wide range of lubricant formulations.
Product availability
While production of Group I is going down worldwide, Group II production is increasing with 500N grade available from multiple sources in multiple locations worldwide with key suppliers located in US, Korea, China, Europe, Singapore and Taiwan.
Applications
500N Group II Base Oil can be incorporated into a broad range of lubricant formulations, including:
- Automotive engine oils
- Heavy-duty engine oils
- Gear oils
- Transmission and drivetrain fluids
- Hydraulic fluids
- Compressor oils
- Turbine oils
- Circulating oils
- Industrial lubricants
- Process oils
- Grease formulations
- High-viscosity lubricant blends
Formulation Flexibility
500N can be used as a primary base stock or blended with other base oils to achieve the desired properties of the finished lubricant.
Its higher viscosity makes it particularly suitable for formulations requiring additional viscosity contribution and effective oil-film characteristics.
The appropriate formulation should be selected according to the intended application, operating conditions, additive technology, and finished-product requirements.
Logistics
Flexible logistics solutions are available, including flexitanks, ISO tanks, and bulk shipments.
