CALSOL 8240 - Calumet - Textiles

Identification & Functionality

Features & Benefits

Fluids & Lubricants Features: Broad Range of Viscosity Grade,
Color Stability,
Good Balance Of Properties,
Improved Elastometer Compatibility
High Viscosity-Gravity Constant (VGC) Process Oils: Offering color stability, elastomer compatibility, and strong process characteristics, the CALSOL 8 Series aligns with current industry standards and provides optimum compatibility and performance in elastomeric rubber applications.

High VGC levels

Low Aniline Points

Very Low Polar Compound Levels

The CALSOL 8 Series is available in a wide range of viscosities and exhibit the balance of properties that also make them the preferred choice for non-rubber applications such as resin extending, PVC, textiles, and caulking compounds.
