Base oil N-220 (Group II)

II)
Group II are hydro-cracked
hydro cracked base oils. They are produced by undergoing hydro
hydro-processing
processing which increases the
level of saturates and purges out impurities. They have fair to good performance in lubricating properties such as
volatility, oxidative stability and
and flash/fire points. They have only fair performance in areas such as pour point, cold
crank viscosity and extreme pressure wear. They are defined as having a viscosity index between 80 and 120 while
having a level of sulphur lower than 0.03% and are less polar with values less than 10 pS/m very low conductivity

Applications
