Specialty Process Oils
The CALSOL™ Specialty Process Oils Line Offer a Broad Range of Options for the Chemical and Manufacturing Industries
CALSOL™ Process Oils by Calumet
Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. produces naphthenic and paraffinic base oils by using a multi-stage hydrotreating process operating at pressures above 2500 psi. This process offers the unique ability to produce base stocks that meet currently established performance standards.
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.
Committed to Excellence
The process oil market demands solvency, high volatility, stable color and different viscosities. Because Calumet’s Calsol Line is composed of paraffinic and naphthenic process oils, Calumet has high appeal to organizations that manufacture different rubber compounds.
Consistent Refinement, Unsurpassed Performance
Our extensive CALSOL product line of Naphthenic and Paraffinic base stocks are engineered to meet your rigorous requirements.
CALSOL™ 5 Series
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.
CALSOL™ 8 Series
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.
CALSOL™ P9 Series
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.
