Customization & Engineering Support

BasOil offers tailored development of ester base oils according to customer requirements:

  1. Provide target specifications (viscosity, flash point, pour point, operating temperature).

  2. Our engineers design ester structures and prepare lab samples.

  3. Samples undergo client testing for viscosity, thermal stability, and cold-flow properties.

  4. Formula adjusted based on performance feedback until specifications are met.

  5. Bulk production with flexible packaging (sample bottles, drums, or container shipments).

Typical sample delivery: 7-14 days. Minimum order quantity depends on formulation and production batch size.

Quality Control & Storage

Every batch of BasOil synthetic ester base oils is manufactured and tested under strict quality protocols:

  • High-purity acids and alcohols with low moisture content.

  • Controlled esterification process with vacuum dehydration and acid removal.

  • Comprehensive ASTM / ISO laboratory tests: viscosity index, flash point, oxidation, hydrolysis, TAN, and density.

  • Guaranteed shelf life: 12 months under sealed, dry, cool storage conditions.

  • Packaging options include samples, 200 L drums, and IBC containers.

BasOil Capabilities & Clients

With an annual ester oil capacity of 8,000 tons, including 2,000 tons of polyester esters, BasOil supports large-scale and specialty applications. Our products are supplied to leading OEMs and industrial clients, including Sinopec, FAW, and Liugong, and are exported to multiple countries in Europe and Asia.      Our engineering team has decades of experience in fine-tuning ester structures to deliver optimal balance between viscosity index, pour point, and flash point.

Market Trends & Competitive Advantages

Synthetic esters (API Group V) are increasingly chosen for advanced lubricants requiring low-temperature performance, extended drain intervals, and higher environmental standards. Global majors such as BASF SYNATIVE® and ExxonMobil Esterex highlight similar benefits, but BasOil differentiates by:

  • 30+ years of ester formulation expertise.

  • High-purity production with strict batch-to-batch consistency.

  • Competitive pricing while maintaining OEM-level performance.

  • Flexible customization for niche industrial and automotive applications.
