What is Rubber Process Oil?
Rubber process oils are obtained from petroleum (crude oil),It is produced by Crude oil distillation process obtained from the composition and chemical interactions and isolation material extracted called Raffinate. An oil composition which has a kinematic viscosity at 100 °C of from 32 to 50 cSt and which contains less than 3% Oil.
Rubber materials are wide employed in human life. Rubbers, each artificial and natural are commercially used to manufacture product from rubber bands to a toy to the enormous tyres for varied vehicles together with aircrafts. Most typical usage is especially on tires, automotive provide trade, white product, constructions, textiles and medicine applications. The most parts of rubber compounds are rubber, reinforcing fillers, method oils and oil based mostly softeners. Alternative additives, like stabilizers, antioxidants, processing agents are enclosed in less quantity. Mineral oils with completely different compositions (paraffinic, naphthenic and aromatic) have been evidenced their importance as softeners and extender method oils in rubber compounds and are used for over 100 years.
Rubber process oil is made aromatic byproduct from solvent extracting method to modify physical properties of the processing and to cut back the price of the finished product.

RPO Types
Depending on the percentage of the carbon containing within, RPO is divided into two different types of:
- Aromatic
- Paraffinic
