RC SN150 Kosovo

 

What is RC Base Oil?

RC Base Oil typically refers to Refined Crude Base Oil or Recycled Base Oil — depending on regional terminology — and is a Group I base oil. These base oils are produced through solvent refining processes and contain relatively higher levels of sulfur, aromatic compounds, and unsaturated hydrocarbons compared to higher Group II/III base oils.

They are widely used in blending lubricants, especially for applications not requiring ultra-high purity, such as:

  • Automotive lubricants
  • Hydraulic fluids
  • Greases
  • Transformer oils
  • Industrial oils

The Importance of Using SN150 Recycled Base Oil in Kosovo

SN150 recycled base oil is becoming increasingly important in Kosovo’s industrial and automotive sectors due to its cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and versatility.

1. Economic Benefits

  • Recycled SN150 is more affordable than virgin base oil, helping businesses reduce operational costs.
  • Supports local industries such as transport, construction, and manufacturing by providing a reliable lubricant source.

2. Environmental Sustainability

  • Recycling used oil into SN150 significantly reduces waste and prevents harmful disposal into soil and water.
  • Encourages eco-friendly practices aligned with EU environmental standards, which are important for Kosovo’s future integration goals.

3. Industrial Applications

  • Used in lubricants for machinery, automotive engines, and hydraulic systems.
  • Plays a role in metalworking, textile production, and other light industries in Kosovo.

4. Energy Efficiency & Performance

  • Provides stable viscosity and good lubrication performance for equipment.
  • Enhances machinery lifespan, reduces downtime, and saves energy consumption.

5. Trade & Supply Opportunities

  • Growing demand in Kosovo opens opportunities for international suppliers.
  • Importing SN150 recycled base oil strengthens regional trade connections with neighboring countries such as Albania, North Macedonia, and Serbia.
