Virgin & Recycled Base Oil (SN150, SN500) — Export from Iran
Base Oil is a refined petroleum product used as a primary component in the production of lubricants, greases, hydraulic fluids, and metalworking oils. We supply both Virgin and Recycled grades in SN150 and SN500 specifications, ideal for blending and industrial applications.
Virgin Base Oils are produced from high-quality crude oil through solvent refining and hydrotreating processes, offering excellent oxidation stability and low volatility. Recycled Base Oils are re-refined from used lubricants and industrial waste, providing a cost-effective and environmentally responsible alternative without compromising on performance.
Note: All products are industrial-grade and not intended for food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic use.
📊 Janis Group Export Fact: We have successfully exported over 5,000 MT of Base Oil (SN150 and SN500 grades) to countries across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, with 100% SGS inspection compliance and zero quality-related shipment rejections.

Applications
- Virgin Grades: High-performance lubricants, automotive oils, hydraulic fluids
- Recycled Grades: Industrial lubricants, process oils, metalworking fluids (customized upon request)
- Grease manufacturing
- Blending with additives to produce finished lubricants
- Component in industrial formulations
Who Should Buy Which Grade?
Virgin Base Oil — Premium Tier
Choose this if: Your final product competes on quality — branded engine oils, OEM-specification lubricants, or export markets with strict impurity limits.
Typical buyers: Lubricant blenders targeting automotive and marine segments; formulators working to demanding performance specifications.
Decision factors: Oxidation stability, low sulfur (≤0.8%) and nitrogen (≤0.05%) matter more than unit price in your segment.
Recycled Base Oil — Value Tier
Choose this if: Your formulation tolerates moderate purity and unit cost drives your margin — high-volume industrial contracts and price-sensitive markets.
Typical buyers: Industrial lubricant plants, grease manufacturers, and blenders optimizing cost per ton of finished product.
Decision factors: 20–35% cost advantage plus customizable specifications, while VI ≥90–100 still meets ASTM/ISO requirements.
