RUBBER PROCESS OIL
- RPO is commercially used to produce products from rubber bands to a toy to the giant tries for various vehicles including aircraft.
- Rubber Process Oils are used during the mixing of rubber compound.
- Rubber process oil is an oil composition which has a kinematic viscosity at 100°C of 20 to 50 CST and which contains less than 3% polynuclear aromatic compounds, which are employed as process oil for rubber compounds, especially aromatic rubbers.
Grades:
- Heavy
- Light
