* Low volatility
* High viscosity index
* Excellent low temperature properties
* Outstanding oxidation/thermal stability
"We are very proud to be the first U.S. based virgin producer of Group III base oil. The addition of Group III production to our Shreveport product slate demonstrates Calumet's commitment to keeping up with today's evolving marketplace," said Bill Anderson, Executive VP of Sales at Calumet Specialty Products Partners.
