•  Exceptional oxidation stability
•  Compatibility with a wide array of additives for formulating flexibility

Features

ATC Neutral Oils are all-hydroprocessed, highly refined API Group II/II+ paraffinic base stocks. Their extremely low sulfur, nitrogen, and aromatic content give them excellent thermal and oxidation stability. These base oils provide excellent cold flow performance because the ISODEWAXING® catalyst and technology convert almost all of the wax in the feed into very stable, branched isoparaffins. ATC Neutral Oils offer the following characteristics relative to typical Group I (solvent refined) base stocks:

• Lower volatility and cold cranking simulator (CCS) viscosity to meet modern engine oil specifications
• Better oxidation and thermal stability
• Lower aromatics, sulfur and nitrogen
• Improved response to pour point depressants
• Improved soot dispersancy in heavy duty motor oil formulations

  ATC Neutral Oils 100R, 150R, 220R, and 600R are API Group II base stocks with a typical viscosity index of 99-103. ATC Neutral Oil 110RLV is a 5 cSt Group II "plus" base stock with a typical viscosity index of 115-117. It was designed to meet the strict volatility requirements of modern engine oils while maintaining API Group II status to simplify qualification programs and to provide interchangeability of ATC base stocks with other approved stocks. ATC 110RLV enables blenders to minimize the amount of more expensive Group III oils needed for the most stringent 10W-XX and 5W-XX motor oil requirements. ATC Neutral Oil 60R is a light viscosity oil that is typically used in light industrial oil applications, electrical insulating oils, as well as other specialty lubricants and process oils. ATC Neutral Oils are non-toxic and meet U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirement 21 CFR 178.3620(c) for components of nonfood articles.
