Product Description

Naphthenic oil is a highly refined, dark-colored petroleum-derived oil belonging to the class of cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons. It is produced through the refining and distillation of crude oil, followed by solvent extraction or hydro-treating to remove aromatics and impurities, resulting in a stable, low-viscosity oil with a high content of saturated cycloparaffinic compounds. Its molecular structure imparts excellent solvency, thermal stability, and low pour point, making it suitable for use in a variety of demanding industrial applications.

Valued for its exceptional lubricating, plasticizing, and heat-transfer properties, naphthenic oil enhances the performance and longevity of formulated products. Its high solvency allows it to effectively dissolve additives, resins, and waxes, while its chemical inertness ensures stability under prolonged exposure to heat and oxygen. Major application areas include the production of rubber and polymer processing oils, transformer oils, metalworking fluids, adhesives, coatings, and specialty lubricants. Its versatility, consistent quality, and functional reliability make it a preferred choice across automotive, electrical, and industrial chemical sectors.
