Based on lubricant Physical State. The additives lower the pour point either by forming a thin coating over wax and prevent it from agglomerisation or co precipitate along with wax , thus reducing the freezing point. In a letter to buyers obtained by ICIS news, CITGO announced it will eliminate production at the Lake Charles lubricants and wax refinery in Louisiana during the third quarter. Mineral based - Petroleum fractions. Using a technology called olefin metathesis, the company creates high performance ingredients for use in personal care products, detergents, fuels, lubricants and other specialty chemicals markets. Paraffinic hydrocarbons are the best lubricants. In other words the mineral oil production process is physical cleaning and the end product is so-called paraffinic base oil. HOUSTON (ICIS news)--The base oils and wax market could tighten even further as producer CITGO was said on Monday to be preparing to close its Lake Charles refinery, the second such industry closing in as many months, industry sources said.

Furthermore, as many unwanted substances as possible are removed in the process, such as sulphur, aromatic hydrocarbons, paraffin wax, etc. The distillation process in the refinery separates the hydrocarbons contained in the crude into cuts based on the molecule size. Provides state-of-the-art information on all processes currently used to manufacture lubricant base oils and waxes-offering practical, timesaving solutions for specific on-the-job problems. I've tried many different oils, waxes, etc., but none is as good as what is on the chain when the box is opened.
