Gasoline Description of Gasoline: Gasoline, petrol (British English) or gas (American English) is a colorless petroleum-derived flammable liquid that is used primarily as a fuel in spark-ignited internal combustion engines. It consists mostly of organic compounds obtained by the fractional distillation of petroleum, enhanced with a variety of additives. It is one of the biggest […]
Liquefied Petroleum Gas Description of Liquefied Petroleum Gas: Liquefied Petroleum Gas or liquid petroleum gas (LPG or LP gas), also referred to as simply propane or butane, are flammable mixtures of hydrocarbon gases used as fuel in heating appliances, cooking equipment, and vehicles. The butane and propane gases obtained during the distillation of crude oil […]
Slow Curing Cutback Asphalt Slow Curing Cutback Asphalt Asphalt cutback use petroleum solvents for dissolving asphalt cement. The solvents are variously called distillate, diluents or cutter stock. If the solvent used in making the cutback asphalt is highly volatile, it will quickly escape by evaporation. Solvents of lower volatility evaporate more slowly. On the basis […]
Medium Curing Cutback Asphalt Medium Curing Cutback Asphalt Medium curing (MC) cutback asphalts are defined as those asphalt grades, which are prepared by using the medium volatile kerosene as the prime coat with boiling point ranges (MC-30, 70, 250, 800, 3000). The mix is done in a cold manner. Cutback bitumen or asphalt is classified […]
Rapid Curing Cutback Asphalt Definition of Rapid Curing Cutback Asphalt Cut-back asphalts is defined as the bitumen whose viscosity value will be greatly reduced by the addition of volatile diluents (high viscosity). It mainly depends upon the diluents used. Generally, three types of cutbacks are used as follows, 1) rapid curing, 2) medium curing and […]

Description of Polybutadiene Rubber Butadiene rubber-BR is a synthetic rubber. Polybutadiene rubber is a polymer formed from the polymerization of the monomer 1,3-butadiene. Polybutadiene has a high resistance to wear and is used especially in the manufacture of tires, which consumes about 70% of the production. Another 25% is used as an additive to improve […]
Base Oil SOC 4 Description of Base Oil SOC 4: SOC-4 by RAHA Oil Company is a VHVI paraffinic base oil with consistent and uniform high quality. It offers broad blending coverage with performance capabilities in a wide range of lubricant applications including gasoline and diesel engine oils, transmission, turbine, hydraulic, compressor and other industrial […]
The American Petroleum Institute (API) has categorized base oils into five categories (API 1509, Appendix E). The first three groups are refined from petroleum crude oil. Group IV base oils are full synthetic (polyalphaolefin) oils. Group V is for all other base oils not included in Groups I through IV. Before all the additives are […]
