Base Oil — API Group I, II and III (CAS 64742-54-7, typical). SN150, SN500, Bright Stock, N150 and 4/6 cSt grades serving lubricant blenders, grease makers and process oil users across the UAE and GCC.
Product Overview
Base Oil is the highly refined petroleum stock that makes up 70–99% of finished lubricants. It is produced from vacuum distillates by solvent refining or hydroprocessing, then dewaxed and finished. The American Petroleum Institute (API) classifies base oils into Groups by saturates, sulphur and viscosity index (VI).
Group I (solvent refined, e.g. SN150, SN500, Bright Stock) is used in industrial oils, greases and older engine oils. Group II (hydroprocessed, ≥ 90% saturates, ≤ 0.03% sulphur) offers better oxidation stability for modern engine and hydraulic oils. Group III (VI ≥ 120) is used in premium synthetic-technology engine oils.
Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies all three groups to lubricant blenders, grease manufacturers and process oil users across the UAE and wider GCC, from drums to flexitanks and bulk vessels.

FAQ
Base Oil is used to blend engine oils, hydraulic, gear and industrial lubricants, greases, transformer oils, rubber process oils and metalworking fluids.
The CAS number for Base Oil (C₂₀–C₅₀ hydrocarbons) is 64742-54-7. Base oils are UVCB substances, so the CAS number varies by refining route; 64742-54-7 (hydrotreated heavy paraffinic distillate) is the most common. They are not regulated as dangerous goods.
Group I is solvent refined, with under 90% saturates or over 0.03% sulphur, and VI 80–120. Group II is hydroprocessed, with ≥ 90% saturates, ≤ 0.03% sulphur and VI 80–120. Group III meets the same purity limits with VI of 120 or higher.
SN stands for Solvent Neutral. The number refers to the approximate viscosity in Saybolt Universal Seconds at 100 °F. SN150 is a light grade and SN500 is a heavier grade; Bright Stock is the heaviest Group I grade.
