SN 150 base oil is known as a light base oil at the lower end of the Group I light base oil specification and is mostly used in the production of lubricant additives. SN150 base oil serves as a raw material for several industrial lubricants:
- General oils
- Mold oils
- Transmission fluids
- Gear oils
- Metalworking fluids
- Additives
- Hydraulic oils
- Transformer oils
