Industrial Lubricating Oils
Industrial lubricating oils are liquid formulations that separate moving surfaces, carry heat and transport contaminants towards filters or sumps. Base oil and additives provide the viscosity, oxidation stability, corrosion protection and water-handling behaviour needed by gearboxes, hydraulic systems, compressors, turbines and circulating equipment.
