Base oil is a refined petroleum product or synthetic compound that serves as the primary ingredient in formulating lubricating oils. It is produced through refining crude oil or by chemical synthesis, depending on the desired quality and application.
Lubricants are typically made up of 70% to 90% base oil, with the rest being additives that enhance specific properties (like anti-wear, anti-oxidation, or corrosion resistance).
Crude oil is a naturally occurring, unrefined petroleum composed of hydrocarbons and other organic compounds. It is found in underground reservoirs and extracted through drilling. Once pumped to the surface, crude oil undergoes refining to produce fuels and petrochemical products.
Urea [CO(NH₂)₂] is the most commonly used nitrogen fertilizer worldwide, essential for promoting healthy crop growth and improving agricultural yield. Known for its high nitrogen content (46% N), urea is a cost-effective and efficient solution for farmers seeking to enhance soil fertility and boost plant productivity.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas, commonly known as LPG, is a versatile, efficient, and clean-burning fuel used around the world in homes, industries, and vehicles. It plays a critical role in modern energy systems by offering a reliable alternative to traditional fuels such as wood, coal, and kerosene.
Bitumen is a viscous, black, sticky substance derived from crude oil during the refining process. It is a hydrocarbon-based material that is either naturally occurring or refined from petroleum. Bitumen is solid or semi-solid at room temperature but becomes fluid when heated, making it ideal for binding and coating materials.
Naphtha is a volatile, colorless to pale yellow liquid derived primarily from crude oil during the refining process, or through natural gas condensate. It consists of a mixture of light hydrocarbons and is classified by its boiling point range and composition.
