Oil hydrogenates are a fraction boiling at above approximately 300°C, gained from crude oil through distillation and mild hydrocracking. They are a mixture of light colour hydrocarbons of semi-solid to pasty character under normal conditions, without any notable water or mechanical impurity content.

Application
Oil hydrogenates are special intermediates which after distillation treatment and dewaxing by the customer, serve mainly as a basic component for primary lube oil production. Types: Oil hydrogenates are produced in types agreed with customers in compliance with respective sales agreements. Light, medium and heavy hydrogenates are produced with wide viscosity range and viscosity index 85 to 105.
Packaging, Storage, Transportation
Oil hydrogenates are supplied in rail tankers equipped with heating coils if required. Oil hydrogenate storage, transportation and handling must comply with respective legal regulations.
Transport Sign
From the point of view of transportation (transport measures - RID/ADR), oil hydrogenates are not classified as hazardous items.
Basic Safety Data
Oil hydrogenates are not classified as hazardous chemical substances.
