Mar 4, 2020 | Product Applications

As a major mineral oil distributor and white oil manufacturer, we know the best oils for your applications. What would you like your oil to accomplish? We can help you identify the specific oil that will perform best for you. Here are three of the most useful oils on the market today.

Renkert Renoil Food Grade Oil

Among the many uses for Renkert’s range of food grade oils are its purity and safety in food-contact applications. This white mineral oil is particularly suited to lubricating equipment to minimize wear. These NF/USP white oils come in a range of viscosities, which allow anti-wear protection, rust protection and oxidation stability. It’s made with materials FDA-approved for direct and incidental or accidental contact with food. Renkert’s Renoil food grade oils also have H1 & H2 approval from the USDA.

If you’re in the food industry, you’ll find a lot of applications that benefit from the use of this oil. It is used by meat and poultry packers, in candy manufacturing, by frozen food processors, and many other kinds of lubricated machinery. But it’s most useful for any food-handling machinery where the oil could inadvertently become a food additive. In addition, it can be used in the agricultural, medical and cosmetic fields. Were you aware that in a 2012 study, mineral oil is preferred for many skin types, including the sensitive skin of infants?

Chevron Base Oil and Process Oils

Chevron base oils are used to create products such as motor oil and metal processing fluids. These oils are extensively used in the automotive industry. They work great as passenger car motor oils, transmission fluids, heavy duty motor oils and many other applications. The Chevron Group II base oil gives your product lower volatility and better oxidation prevention, as well as thermal stability, than traditional Group I oils. Chevron base oil also has a good cold flow performance and high viscosity.

Large diesel engines are well suited to Chevron base oils which will help you to balance your fuel economy with wear protection. Because of its purity and oxidation stability, it will extend your oil life while also providing high performance. Additionally, Chevron base oils are good for the manufacturing industry as well. In particular, the premium base oils are useful for hydraulic oils and power generator turbine oils.

Chevron ParaLux Process Oils are preferred for their low volatility especially for automotive interior soft-touch polymer applications. The result is reduced interior fogging of windshields due to evaporating oil components. That’s why many manufacturers specify ParaLux for these uses.

Transformer Insulating Oil

Renkert’s brand Voltro™ transformer insulating oil is an oil that can withstand high temperatures and has the best properties for electrical insulating. If you’re in the electrical power industry, this oil will suit your needs. Transformer insulating oils are designed to keep your electrical machinery cool. It can preserve a transformer’s core and windings and it also stops corona discharge and arcing. It performs as a barrier between the cellulose and the atmospheric oxygen, which minimizes the oxidation.
