Rubber Processing Oils

PARAFFINIC OILS - FLEXOIL P Series grades conforming to ASTM 104 Type, formulated from highly refined solvent extracted base stocks of low sulphur content are used in the manufacture of butyl tubes and a variety of technical molded and extruded products based on polar rubbers like EPM & EPDM etc. They are suitable in the manufacture of light coloured products and have good thermal stability. POWEROIL FLEXOIL P 25 & P 25 L because of higher viscosity and paraffinic content are preferred for achieving high retention of properties after ageing and higher loading of oil in applications like heat resistant / steam hoses and conveyor belts.

NAPHTHENIC OILS - FLEXOIL N Series grades conforming to ASTM 103 Type, formulated from carefully selected hydrotreated naphthenic base stocks are non-staining in nature possesing excellent thermal, oxidation and colour stability. Some of the highly hydro treated grades in this series are also preferred for their low Poly Cyclic Aromatic (PCA) levels which make them non carcinogenic. Recommended in the manufacture of automotive tubes, light colored non- black foot wear products and molded and extruded goods. They are compatible for processing with NR, SBR, PBR, Butyl and EPM / EPDM rubbers. Special tailor made blends are also available for TPR Thermoplastic elastomers and specific applications like pressure sensitive hotmelt adhesives.    

AROMATIC OILS - FLEXOIL A SUPER conforming to ASTM 101 Type, formulated from specially selected aromatic extracts offer good compatibility with Natural Rubber, SBR, PBR and CR. They are widely used in manufacture of automotive tyres and tubes, bi-cycle tyres, tyre  re-treading materials, belting, hoses, battery casings and containers, extruded products, technical molded goods and rubber articles with reclaim rubber due to  high solvency.  

POWEROIL FLEX OILS cover a comprehensive range of Naphthenic, Paraffinic and Aromatic rubber processing oils meeting the exacting specific requirements of rubber and tyre industries. They are approved by world renowned major Tyre manufacturers.

It was the first in Indian industry to develop and market the non carcinogenic low PCA grades of rubber processing oils at a time when major tyre manufacturing companies need to shift to low PCA grades of rubber processing oils by 2010 as per the WTO mandate.

APAR is the largest private sector producer of high quality special application rubber processing oils for the domestic rubber and tyre industries accounting for 25 % market share. It is the largest marketer of superior quality Naphthenic RPO in India.
