Base oils and lubricant additives
Base oils of all groups, additive packages, viscosity modifiers and functional components.
Base oils of all groups, additive packages, viscosity modifiers and functional components.
A complete component set for lubricant blending: base oils of every group, ready additive packages and individual functional components. We buy direct from the manufacturers and match the solution to your formulation, budget and lead time.
A broad range of imported base oils from leading global manufacturers — the ideal foundation for lubricants of any purpose. Groups I, II and III, PAO, PAG and naphthenic oils are all available, which keeps formulation work flexible.
Base oils are the feedstock for engine and driveline oils, hydraulic fluids, greases and industrial oils.
We offer a wide span of viscosities and temperature characteristics, so the finished fluid keeps its properties across very different service conditions.

Beyond ZDDP we also supply sulphonates, salicylates and phenates, ashless dispersants, antioxidants, defoamers and molybdenum friction modifiers.
Metal sulphonates that raise the total base number, neutralising the acids formed during combustion and protecting the engine from corrosion.
Calcium sulphonates are the most common type; magnesium grades reduce the ash content of the finished oil. Overbased sulphonates with TBN 300–400 are used in most engine oil formulations.
