Industrial oils are used to lubricate machinery, hydraulic systems, gears and production equipment. Different operating conditions require different lubricant characteristics.
General applications
Mineral base oils may be used in suitable formulations of hydraulic, gear, machine and selected metalworking oils. Their use depends on the properties of the base oil and the requirements of the finished lubricant.
SN350 and SN500
SN350 is generally considered a medium-viscosity grade, while SN500 has a higher viscosity profile. These differences allow them to be assessed for a variety of industrial lubricant formulations. Actual suitability should be verified against relevant technical information.
