Instead of removing wax molecules (as in solvent dewaxing) or cracking them to light C3-C8 hydrocarbons (as in classic catalytic dewaxing), the ISODEWAXING® Catalyst isomerizes the wax molecules into lube oil. €�Lately these refiners have decided to get out of production of unrefined waxes,” said Kumar, explaining that more petroleum companies are taking their by-product waxes and further refining them into lubricating oil. Vegetable oil - Castor oil, Palm oil, Coconut oil. The significant increase in lube yield over competitive technologies, the ultra-clean finished products, and broad feedstock flexibility propelled ISODEWAXING to become the preferred dewaxing process for lubricant base oil production in the world. Synthetics are termed such due to the altering of the base structure to create a set of molecules that retains advantages or improves on them but minimises the disadvantages of a simply processed oil. Castor oil has been used as a lubricant for decades. The additives lower the pour point either by forming a thin coating over wax and prevent it from agglomerisation or co precipitate along with wax , thus reducing the freezing point. Animal oils - Lard oil, Tallow oil, Whale oil. Masaru Mishima, Chairman of the Society and Investigation Working Committee for the Lubricants Quality Assurance Survey Committee at Japan Lubricating Oil Society, Nippon Mitsubishi Oil Corporation; Update of the DX-1 Development Kanji Kikuchi, Hino Motors Ltd. Mineral based - Petroleum fractions. This wax still has lubricating properties. Based on lubricant Physical State.

The distillation process in the refinery separates the hydrocarbons contained in the crude into cuts based on the molecule size. In other words the mineral oil production process is physical cleaning and the end product is so-called paraffinic base oil. Its chemical structure allows it to polymerise at high temperatures to form a sticky wax type material often referred as castor varnish. Paraffinic hydrocarbons are the best lubricants. Castor Oil would be Why use Castor oil? Furthermore, as many unwanted substances as possible are removed in the process, such as sulphur, aromatic hydrocarbons, paraffin wax, etc.
