Imported Rubber Process Oil (RPO)

About Imported Rubber Process Oil (RPO)

Imported Rubber Process Oil (RPO) is a high-quality petroleum-based oil specially refined to be used as a processing aid in the rubber and polymer industries. It is widely used in the manufacturing of various rubber products to improve processability, enhance physical properties, and reduce production costs.

These oils are carefully selected and imported to meet international quality standards, ensuring consistency, low impurity levels, and excellent compatibility with different types of rubber such as natural rubber (NR) and synthetic rubbers like SBR, BR, and EPDM.
