By launching Amber Base 1500 BS production in central Europe, Orlen has addressed industry expectations regarding advanced pure performance technology and supply resilience in heavy grades.
Offering exceptional physical properties focused on low temperature performance (-30◦C pour point) while also maintaining high viscosity and oxidative stability, Amber Base 1500 BS is designed for developing innovative formulations for engine and industrial lubricants, particularly marine engine oils, gear oils and greases.
Delivering innovation and the highest, consistent quality is critical for us to achieve peak operational performance in newly designed applications, together with our customers.
Application and adventages of Amber Base 1500 BS
Amber Base 1500 BS – a base stock dedicated to newly designed formulations for engine oils, especially marine and gear oils, as well as automotive and industrial and greases, delivering highly advantageous performance.
Due to its physical properties like low-temperature performance (pour point max. -30◦C) and a high viscosity index, it enables our customers to develop solutions that address market needs for technically advanced products, ensuring cost competitiveness by replacing alternative high viscosity grades. The visibly light colour of Amber Base 1500 BS supports a diverse range of applications.
