Calumet CALSOL - Process Oils

CALSOL™ specialty process oils are refined from a select blend of crude oil using a state-of-the-art, multistage hydrogenation process. This severe hydrotreating process offers the unique ability to produce specialty process oils that meet currently established performance standards for a variety of applications. The quality control practices that Calumet implements regarding crude oil selection and subsequent refining processes ensure consistent uniformity and product performance.

NON-STAINING NAPHTHENIC PROCESS OILS

When the highest levels of color stability, oxidation, and aging resistance are required, the CALSOL 5 Series is simply the “Best of the Best.”

• Low Aromatic Levels
• Very Low Polar Compound Levels
• Extremely Low UV Absorptivity

The CALSOL 5 Series is an ideal choice whenever the balance of hardness and color stability is critical. For example:  thermoplastics, radial and styrene elastomers.

HIGH VISCOSITY-GRAVITY CONSTANT (VGC) PROCESS OILS

Offering color stability, elastomer compatibility, and strong process characteristics, the CALSOL 8 Series aligns with current industry standards and provides optimum compatibility and performance in elastomeric rubber applications.

• High VGC Levels
• Low Aniline Points
• Very Low Polar Compound Levels

The CALSOL 8 Series is available in a wide range of viscosities and exhibit the balance of properties that also make them the preferred choice for non-rubber applications such as resin extending, PVC, textiles, and caulking compounds.

HIGHLY-REFINED PARAFFINIC PROCESS OILS

Providing excellent color stability without sacrificing elastomer compatibility and process characteristics, the CALSOL P9 Series is aligned to current elastomeric rubber industry standards.

• Low Volatility
• Moderate Aniline Points
• Very Low Polar Compound Levels

The CALSOL P9 Series is available in a wide range of viscosities and exhibit the balance of properties that also make them the preferred choice for non-rubber applications such as EPDM Compounding, PVC, textiles, and caulking compounds.
