abbreviation name of RPO is an oil composition with a mixture of paraffin, naphthalene, and other aromatic compounds of various molecular weight distributions.
RPO is obtained from petroleum or crude oil after the more volatile and heating oil fractions have been separated through distillation
Rubber Process Oil is used as a processing aid in the manufacturing of different rubber products

Rubber Process Oil Uses & Applications
Rubber Process Oil (RPO) is used in many different industries; the most important uses and applications of Rubber Process Oil are as follows:
Automobile Tyers
Tubes
Profiles
Rubber Sheets
Rubber Shock Absorbers
Footwear
Industrial Hoses
Wire & Cable Coverings
Flooring Materials & Carrier Fluids
As a Solvent in The Manufacturing of Adhesives
Sealants
Polishes & Carbon Black
Rubber Process Oil Benefits & Advantages
Rubber Process Oil (RPO) functions as a plasticizer, using RPO has many benefits and advantages for your products.
The most important benefits and advantages that you get from using RPO include:
Improving efficiency and productivity
Lowering energy cons
umption
Reducing production and improving product family
Improving process ability and filter incorporation
Reducing viscosity
Reducing elasticity
Aid dispersion of filters
Reducing power consumption
Non-toxic
Rubber Process Oil doesn’t have any effect on the intended properties of the final product.
Different Types of Rubber Process Oil
Rubber Process Oil (RPO) has three types; we will explain each type of RPO below.
1. Aromatic RPO
Aromatic RPOs are dark in color and are highly compatible with rubber polymers
These aromatic oils are used extensively in the production of automobile tires, tread rubber, conveyor belts, automotive components, floor mats, and … where the colors of the final product don’t matter
2. Paraffinic RPO
Paraffinic RPO has light colors, a higher viscosity range, and high aniline and flash points
These Paraffinic oils are mainly used in the manufacturing of butyl tubes and EPDM-Based rubber products like profiles, automotive components, and hosepipes
3. Naphthenic RPO
These types of RPOs have very good color stability, solubility, and thermal stability
Naphthenic RPOs are used extensively in the manufacturing of footwear, LPG tubes, hot-water bags, and molded and extruded products
RPO Packing & Transportation
Rubber Process Oil (RPO) is packed in 180kg drums, ISO Tanks, Flexi Tanks, and Bulk Shipments.
Vira Petroleum offers customized packaging as requested based on your company’s unique needs and specifications
RPO can be transferred using rail, road, sea, or air based on your location and the time you need

RPO Price
Rubber Process Oil (RPO) prices are variable daily and are determined in the international petrochemical markets.
There are many factors affecting the RPO prices, some of them include:
Daily petroleum price
World inflation rate
Energy prices
Federal Reserve interest rate
Advanced economies such as US & China have an economic growth rate
Supply chain issues
Geopolitical tensions across the world
Demand for different rubber products across the world such as tires, tubes, profiles, and …

How is rubber process oil made?
When crude oil is subjected to the distillation process, rubber process oil is created. This product, known as raffinate, is also compatible with rubber polymers and is obtained through composition, chemical reactions, and the isolation of materials that are extracted.
What is rubber oil used for?
Rubber process oils are used across a wide variety of industries, Automobile Tyers, Rubber Sheets, Profiles, Tubes, Rubber Shock Absorbers, Footwear, Wire & Cable Coverings, Flooring Materials & Carrier Fluids, Industrial Hoses, As a Solvent in The Manufacturing of Adhesives, Sealants and Polishes & Carbon Black
What are the different grades of rubber process oil?
There are two basic grades of rubber process oil: heavy and light. The viscosity of the RPO determines its grade. Viscosity grades 20 to 30 for rubber process oils are referred to as light (low viscosity) grades. Heavy (high viscosity) grade refers to rubber process oils with a viscosity of 30 to 50.
What is the viscosity of RPO?
Rubber process oil is a type of oil composition with a kinematic viscosity between 25 and 50 CST at 100 °C and less than 3% rubber.
What are the different types of rubber process oil?
There are three different types of rubber process oils, Aromatic oils, Paraffinic Oils and Paraffinic Oils.
