Base Oil UAE

Lubricants, Industrial, and Automotive Use

Base Oil, a refined petroleum-derived product, is a clear, high-quality lubricant feedstock essential for manufacturing engine oils, industrial lubricants, and greases. It is one of the leading and most reliable supplies in the UAE, ensuring consistent quality and availability. Known for its stability, low volatility, and excellent lubrication properties, base oil is a vital component for both industrial and automotive applications, supporting smooth machinery operation and enhanced equipment longevity.

Base Oil – Properties, Applications, and Advantages in the UAE

Base Oil is a refined petroleum product and the primary feedstock for lubricants, greases, and industrial oils, valued for its thermal stability, low volatility, and oxidation resistance. Classified into Groups I–V based on refining and viscosity, it reduces friction, prevents wear, and enhances machinery life across automotive and industrial applications. Produced to global standards like API, ACEA, and ISO, high-quality base oil in the UAE ensures reliable performance for engine oils, hydraulic fluids, gear oils, and other industrial lubricants.

 
 
Lubricant Feedstock and Industrial Material Overview

Key Uses of Base Oil

01

Engine Oils

Base oil forms the primary component of engine oils, providing lubrication, reducing friction, and protecting engines from wear.
02

Industrial Lubricants

Used in hydraulic fluids, compressors, and turbines, base oil ensures smooth operation and extends machinery life.
03

Gear Oils

It delivers high-pressure lubrication for gears, reducing wear and preventing overheating in industrial and automotive systems.
04

Greases

Combined with thickeners, base oil produces greases that offer long-lasting lubrication for bearings and moving parts.
05

Metalworking Fluids

Base oil serves as a carrier in cutting oils and metalworking fluids, reducing friction, cooling tools, and improving surface finish.
06

Marine and Aviation Lubricants

High-quality base oil is used in specialized lubricants for ships and aircraft, ensuring performance under extreme temperatures and loads.

Our Vision

Base oil should be handled with care to avoid skin contact and inhalation of fumes. Use in well-ventilated areas, wear protective gloves and goggles, prevent exposure to open flames, and store or dispose of safely according to UAE regulations.

Ventilation

Use in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhaling fumes.

 

Protective Gear

Wear heat-resistant gloves, clothing, and goggles to prevent burns and eye injuries.

 

Fire Safety

Keep away from open flames and sparks, as heated bitumen is flammable.

Health Precautions

Avoid direct skin contact and inhalation of fumes during heating or application.

Storage

Store in cool, dry areas and dispose of residues according to UAE regulations.

Base Oil – Essential Feedstock for Lubricants and Industrial Applications

Sourced from high-quality crude residues, bitumen with precise softening points and penetration grades, typically heated to 150–200 °C for application, provides excellent binding, waterproofing, and durability for UAE construction, infrastructure, and industrial projects.
