Physical Properties Chemical Properties  

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.
