Base oil is crucial for the development of lubricants. They are the result when crude oil is refined and preserved. Green Global has upgraded the standard of base oil export. For the past 15 years, we have chosen the best base oil suppliers so that our clients use the finest quality minerals.
We only believe that the best quality of base oil whatever type it may be improves your business.
According to the American Petroleum Institute (API), the base oil is categorised and distributed into five categories (API 1509, Appendix E). And they are distributed as such.

Base stock is a product that is mixed with other stocks to create base oil. The quality of a base stock is determined by its viscosity.
Mineral groups namely group I, II, and III are based on their molecule performance in certain areas such as,
Solvency
Oxidation stability
Viscosity stability
Pour point
Toxicity
There is no clear definition for synthetic base stocks and that is why there are different iterations. According to a US ruling, synthetic base oils are the ones from the group III (sometimes IV) base oil, Germany considers them to be the ones extracted from polyalphaolefins or esters.
The colour of base oil changes throughout different groups. The group I base oil has an amber to golden colour. Some of the groups where the base oil is much purer are even colourless.
Base oil extracted from paraffinic crude oil is charactorised as paraffinic base stocks or parraffinic base oil. They tend to have a higher viscosity index.
The viscosity index is the degree of change when your lubricant is under extreme temperature. Lubricants tend to turn thick under cold temperatures and thin under warm. The higher the viscosity index of a product, the more demanded it becomes.
