Chevron Premium Process Oils are produced using an all-hydroprocessing route which transforms the molecular structure of undesirable aromatics into highly desirable saturates. This produces a process oil with superior physical and chemical properties:
- Lower aromatics result in superior color stability.
- Lower volatility improves efficiency.
- Excellent compatibility with rubber polymers reduces processing headaches.
