Base oils are transported in bulk, often in tankers, and delivered to blending facilities and manufacturers where lubricants are formulated.
Base oil trading centers around the commerce of base oils, which are refined from crude oil and used as a fundamental ingredient in the production of lubricating oils and greases.
Base oils are the primary component in the formulation of lubricants, and they are used as a base for blending various grades of lubricating oils and greases.Base oils serve as a vital component in the formulation of lubricants used in automotive, industrial, and other machinery.
