Claxton Crudes with higher paraffin content, such as Tapis, which are produced in Asia, give a higher lube yield and a higher viscosity index (VI) after processing. GreenMantra's catalytic depolymerization process converts recycled plastics into industrial products such as waxes, greases and lubricating oils. Some are predominantly naphthenes so yield a lubricating oil that is more sensitive to temperature changes than the paraffin-base crudes. [0018] (3) Wax obtained by a lubricating oil dewaxing step (slack wax or the like) and/or synthetic wax obtained by a gas-to-liquid (GTL) process (Fischer-Tropsch wax, GTL wax or the like). Provides state-of-the-art information on all processes currently used to manufacture lubricant base oils and waxes-offering practical, timesaving solutions for specific on-the-job problems. A Canadian company has even developed a process to form micro wax and polymers into a structural material that does not require maintenance, in essence it is a wax brick. But Asia is cost advantaged for high-quality base oil production such as Group III and III+ base oils, because of the availability of crudes like Daqing, Minas, Tapis, Arabian light and Murban,” said Amy Claxton, owner of My Energy, a US consultancy that covers lubricants, waxes and gas-to-liquids (GTL). The oil portion of the cylinder stock is further processed to remove the resins. Mixed-Base Crude Oils: The "gray area" between the two types above. Sepahan Oil produces Group I SN500 base oils, engine oils, industrial lubricants, automobile gear oils, greases and anti-freeze, paraffin, heavy slack wax and rubber processing oil at the Isfahan plant.
