PARALUX is 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.

Applications

Because PARALUX is produced by all-hydroprocessing, it has performance properties that surpass most conventional paraffinic process oils and approach or surpass many of the performance characteristics of technical white oils. These advantages include:

• Exceptionally low aromatic content
• Better color and UV stability than conventional paraffinic or naphthenic oils
• Almost complete resistance to degradation from ultraviolet discoloration
• Lower volatility results in fewer emissions, so less make-up oil is needed and costs are minimized
• Excellent compatibility with rubber polymers which require paraffinic oils. Only all-hydroprocessed oils can deliver all of these advantages

Chevron ParaLux Process Oils are ideal for use in compounding a wide variety of products, including :

• Footwear
• Wire and Cable insulation
• Adhesives, sealants and coatings
• Polymer modified asphalts
• Automobile interior moldings
• Automotive under hood parts
• Tires, tire whitewalls, tubes, and inner liners
• Rubber membranes
• Weather Stripping
