Calumet Speciality Products becomes first US based producer of group III base oil
Calumet Specialty Products Partners L.P, a leading independent producer of specialty hydrocarbon and fuel products, announced today the launch of CALPAR 4GIII, the Company's first API Group III synthetic base oil.
CALPAR 4GIII is a high quality paraffinic base oil that has been engineered by the Company's in-house R&D and technical refining staff to meet the American Petroleum Institute requirements for Group III base oils. The Group III classification characterizes the most highly refined base oil derived from crude oil, providing viscosity index levels above 120 and very high saturate content.
CALPAR 4GIII is designed for extensive use in engine oil formulations to improve gas mileage, reduce emissions and extend oil change intervals. CALPAR 4GIII offers:
* 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. "This launch broadens and enhances our portfolio, which now includes products across Group I, Group II, Group III and Group V."
