The Renoil Low Volatility rubber processing oils feature technical white oil grades 1000 and 1500 SUS @ 100˚F viscosity, with high flash points and high MW. Additionally, ProBright 150 is a 2600 SUS, traditional bright stock process oil for dark-colored applications. Renkert Oil has performed experiments to quantify the value of these higher MW oils, especially their effects on automotive fogging and oil mobility for food contact applications.

Low volatility under high temperatures
For instance, our windshield fogging investigation simulates summer automobile cabin heat to measure the evaporation of extender oils or monomers from auto interior elastomers. Our study results show how well Renoil LV and traditional ProBright 150 support the elastomer in maintaining the extender oil and product flexibility under high temperatures. This is vital to avoiding fogged windows and maintaining the soft touch properties that the oil provides.

| Paralux 701 | 70 | 360 | <0.5 |
| Paralux 1001 | 105 | 415 | <0.5 |
| Paralux 2401 | 220 | 445 | <0.5 |
| Paralux 6001 | 585 | 525 | <0.5 |
| Renoil 1000-LV | 1,000 | 525 | <0.5 |
| Renoil 1500- LV | 1,400 | 525 | <0.5 |
| ProBright 150 | 2,600 | 572 | 3.0 |
Renoil Low Volatility rubber processing oils have a high molecular weight (MW) and high viscosity with minimal color, providing many of the same benefits as our Chevron ParaLux while reducing fogging even further. Renoil LV is ideal for applications involving TPE and EPDM rubbers, by reducing oil mobility and increasing the long term finished product’s flexibility and durability.
For those applications where color is not important, Renkert Oil provides traditional high quality bright stock process oil ProBright 150. With all the low volatility advantages in an amber process oil, this grade has been shown to perform well in under the hood and automotive interior soft touch TPE and EPDM applications.
