Base Oil
Base oil is the end product of a long process involving used oils. These oils are first cleansed of their contaminants--such as dirt, water, fuel, and used additives--through vacuum distillation.
This oil is the same quality as virgin oil. As oil does not break down; it simply gets dirty, additives become deleted and chemicals break down. The re-refining process cleans up the used oil and adds additives.
Performance base oils are refined by an advanced hydrocracking and catalytic dewaxing process in a manufacturing facility. The oil is hydro-treated to remove any remaining chemicals. This process is very similar to what traditional oil refineries do to remove base oil from crude.
Finally, the re-refined base oil is combined with a fresh additive package by the blender. The resulting base oil is highly saturated and exceptionally free of impurities.
At Gomak Inc. directly or through our affiliates, we buy and sell base oil of different specifications all over the world.
In the United States, the re-refined oils now carry the American Petroleum Institute (API) seal of certification.
There are several categories of base oils that define the type of base stock the oil is formulated from. The purity of Pure Performance base oils means that your additive packages can be optimized to meet performance objectives at lower treat rates and reduced cost.
Base are commonly mixed with additives and marketed as synthetic or semi-synthetic products and they have become more common in America in the last decade.
Pure Performance base oils offer inherent advantages over conventional base oils that can improve the performance of your finished engine oils and other lubricants. Better viscosity control and reduced volatility help cut lubricant consumption and provide fuel economy benefits.
