Rubber Process Oils
Rubber Process Oils (RPO) are specially refined mineral oils used in the manufacture and processing of both natural and synthetic rubber compounds. They serve as essential additives that enhance the processing behavior of rubber, improving plasticity, moldability, and filler dispersion. These oils are categorized into three main types — Aromatic, Naphthenic, and Paraffinic — each selected based on the compatibility with specific rubber types and the desired end-use properties. RPOs also help reduce energy consumption during mixing and provide finished rubber products with greater flexibility, aging resistance, and durability.
Used across a wide range of industries, Rubber Process Oils are key in manufacturing automotive components, tires, belts, hoses, gaskets, and rubber soles. Aromatic RPOs offer high solvency and are ideal for heavy-duty applications, while naphthenic and paraffinic oils offer better color stability, oxidation resistance, and suitability for lighter or more delicate applications. RPO is available in bulk or drum packaging, making it ideal for high-volume industrial use.
Green Rubber Process Oil
Standard Rubber Process Oil
Green Rubber Process Oil is an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional rubber process oils, formulated from bio-based or highly refined petroleum feedstocks with low PAH (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) content. Designed for safer handling and reduced environmental impact, it is widely used in the production of natural and synthetic rubber products such as tires, tubes, seals, and automotive parts. Green RPO enhances rubber flexibility, plasticity, and filler dispersion while meeting stringent health and environmental standards, including EU REACH and FDA compliance (in certain grades).
This oil is especially suitable for manufacturers looking to reduce VOC emissions and improve workplace safety without compromising performance. It maintains excellent compatibility with a wide range of elastomers such as NR, SBR, and EPDM, and performs well in both extrusion and molding operations. Green RPO is available in various viscosity ranges and offers consistent thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and low volatility, making it ideal for high-performance and eco-conscious rubber applications.
Standard Rubber Process Oil (RPO) is a petroleum-derived oil widely used in the compounding and processing of natural and synthetic rubbers. It serves as a plasticizer, improving the workability, flow characteristics, and extrusion performance of rubber during manufacturing. Standard RPO is especially valued for enhancing the dispersion of fillers and additives, reducing energy consumption, and increasing flexibility in the final rubber product. It is typically available in Aromatic, Naphthenic, and Paraffinic types to suit different rubber compounds like NR, SBR, EPDM, and NBR.
Common applications of Standard RPO include tyres, rubber mats, gaskets, belts, seals, and automotive parts. While aromatic grades are known for strong solvency and compatibility with carbon black, naphthenic and paraffinic types are often chosen for better color stability and oxidation resistance. Standard RPO offers cost-effective performance in industrial rubber processing and is supplied in bulk, drums, or IBC tanks depending on production requirements.
