Synthetics are termed such due to the altering of the base structure to create a set of molecules that retains advantages or improves on them but minimises the disadvantages of a simply processed oil. Lubricant Base Oil and Wax Processing. Titolo:Lubricant Base Oil and Wax Processing Autori:Avilino Sequeira Anno pubbl.:1994. This wax still has lubricating properties. Castor oil has been used as a lubricant for decades. Solvent processing, first used in the 1930s to improve base oil performance, is still used today to produce Group I lubricant stock. The secret I was made privy to was that waxing your chain was preferable to using oil type lubricants as far as cleanliness was concerned. For the most part, four of the eight, representing greases, wax-based drip lubes, regular oils, and biodegradeable oils, were all very similar, losing about 2 watts over the hour long test.'. Categorized | Oils & Lubricants The Ultra-S base oil is a base oil having a very high viscosity index(VI) that is produced through a hydrocracking, wax hydroisomerization and hydrofinishing process. Over time, the wax gets nasty to the point that you feel compelled to replace it lest you re-introduce the contaminants in the waxing process. Its chemical structure allows it to polymerise at high temperatures to form a sticky wax type material often referred as castor varnish. Castor Oil would be Why use Castor oil?
