RUBBER PROCESING OIL (RPO)

Royal Petro & Chemcals rubber process oils are extensive range of products designed for processing of rubber and related polymers. Processed from superior blends of aromatic and aliphatic components, Royal Petro & Chemcals rubber process oils are available in a number of viscosity and composition grades meeting specific end application requirements and conforming to various specifications.

Rubber process oils can be broadly classified into three basic groups depending on the physical arrangement of the carbon atoms namely , parafinics , napthenics and aromatics. all petroleum oils are mixtures of various hydrocarbon groups and their classification is arbitrary and is based on the predominance of a particular hydrocarbon group. Extensively used in the manufacture of tyres, shoes, rubber and packaging products, Royal Petro & Chemcals rubber process oils are classified on the basis of content as Paraffinic, Naphthenic and Aromatic process oils.
Aromatic Oils are generally dark in colour & good compatible with most Rubber Polymers. It is extensively used in the manufacturing of Automobile Tyres, Tread Rubber, Conveyor Belts, Automotive Components & Floor Mats etc., where colour of the end product is not important.

Paraffinic Oils are generally light in colour having wide viscosity range, higher Aniline & Flash Point. It is extensively used in the manufacturing of butyl tubes, EPDM based rubber products, such as profiles, hose pipe & automotive Components.

Naphthenic Oils has good colour stability, solubility & thermal stability. It is extensively used in the manufacturing of foot wear, LPG tubes, hot water bags, moulded & extruded products. It may be used as a banbury lubricants in Rubber Industries.

Some of the outstanding features of Royal Petro & Chemicals rubber process oils are:

1. Excellent anti-contamination and anti-aging properties
2. Good solubility
3. Excellent color stability
4. Good lubricity and elasticity including internal lubricating properties
