In the world of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) manufacturing, where precision and reliability are paramount, process oils play a vital role in ensuring consistent product quality and operational efficiency.
Yet, how those oils are delivered can be just as critical.
For some businesses using process oils to manufacture TPEs and other products, partnering with a supplier that offers packaged options, like drums and totes, can provide significant advantages.

What Are Packaged Process Oils?
Unlike bulk deliveries, which require large tanks and additional equipment, packaged oils provide a flexible and secure solution tailored to your needs.
Packaged process oils come in convenient, manageable containers, such as 55-gallon drums or 275- to 330-gallon totes.
These containers are designed to make storage, handling, and usage easier, particularly for companies with limited space or specific production requirements.
Why Packaged Process Oils May Make Sense for Your Business
At Renkert Oil, we understand that every operation is unique. That’s why we’re committed to offering flexible solutions, including packaged process oils. Here are some of the key benefits:
1. Easier Storage and Space Optimization
Not every facility is equipped to handle bulk oil storage. Packaged options like drums and totes offer a compact, stackable solution, making it easier to manage inventory without taking up valuable floor space.
For companies with smaller operations or fluctuating production schedules, these containers provide the flexibility to store only what you need—when you need it.
2. Greater Usage Flexibility
Production demands can shift quickly, and packaged oils provide the agility to adapt. With drums and totes, you can use precise quantities without worrying about over-ordering or waste.
This flexibility is ideal for smaller operations or businesses looking to test new production methods without committing to large bulk orders.
“It’s all about partnership!!! Flexibility and responsiveness that is specifically tailored to your business comes from enrolling your Supply Partners into a relationship that is open, mutually beneficial and based in trust … From there – anything can be built.” – Anya Aubry, President, L’Gato Corporation
3. Reduced Risk of Contamination
When it comes to maintaining quality, packaged oils shine. Sealed containers, such as drums and totes, protect the oil from environmental contaminants that can compromise performance.
This is especially critical in industries where stringent quality standards are non-negotiable. At Renkert Oil, we take pride in ensuring our packaged products meet the highest standards of purity and performance.
4. Simplified Logistics and Handling
Transporting and handling process oils can be a logistical challenge, but packaged options help simplify the process.
Drums and totes are easier to load, unload, and move around your facility, often without the need for specialized equipment. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of spills and other costly mishaps.
5. Cost-Efficiency for Smaller Operations
For businesses that don’t require large quantities of oil, packaged options are a practical choice. Instead of over-purchasing and dealing with excess inventory, you can buy only what you need.
This approach minimizes waste and ensures your resources are used efficiently, all while keeping your costs in check.
Choosing the Right Supplier: Questions to Ask
Finding the right supplier is essential to maximizing the benefits of packaged process oils. Here are a few questions to guide your decision:
- Do they offer a variety of packaging options to meet your needs?
- Can they guarantee consistent quality in every container?
- Do they provide delivery services and logistical support?
- Are they responsive and knowledgeable about your industry?
At Renkert Oil, the answer to all these questions is a resounding yes. Our goal is to be your go-to partner for reliable, high-quality process oils—delivered how and when you need them.
Why Renkert Oil Stands Out
When you choose a supplier, you’re not just buying a product—you’re investing in a partnership. At Renkert Oil, we’ve built our reputation on being easy to do business with. Here’s what sets us apart:
