lubricants
Gapuma proudly serves as an official distributor of Chevron Oronite's OLOA® additives and PARATONE® viscosity modifiers, along with the essential technical support for our customers.
By utilising Chevron Oronite’s high-performance OLOA® additives, lubricant blenders can achieve higher market share through the production of quality lubricants at optimised treat rates. These additives, when blended with the right base oils, help to dissolve deposits, prevent corrosion, control oxidation, and reduce friction and wear across a wide range of engine applications, ultimately leading to enhanced performance, reduced emissions, and a smaller environmental footprint.
Products we Deliver​
Reduce wear and tear on moving parts by forming a protective layer on surfaces.
Antioxidants play a crucial role in the lubricants industry by preventing or slowing down the oxidation process, which can degrade lubricants and reduce their effectiveness.
Group I base oils are the least refined among the five groups of base oils classified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). They contain less than 90% saturates and more than 0.03% sulphur. They have a viscosity index ranging from 80 to 120.
Due to their lower cost and good solvency, Group I base oils are commonly used in applications where high performance is not critical, such as in industrial lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and some automotive oils.
More refined than Group I.
Lower sulphur content and higher saturates.
VI typically ranges from 80 to 120.
Better oxidation resistance and clearer colour than Group I.
Most refined of the mineral oils.
Very low sulphur content and high saturates.
VI greater than 120.
Often considered “synthetic-like” due to their high purity.
Offer excellent performance and are used in high-quality lubricants.
Protect metal surfaces from rust and corrosion.
Keep engine parts clean by suspending contaminants and preventing deposits.
Keep contaminants dispersed in the oil, preventing them from clumping and forming sludge.
Protect surfaces under high pressure and prevent seizing.
Prevent the formation of foam, which can reduce lubrication effectiveness.
Reduce friction and improve fuel economy by modifying the friction characteristics of the lubricant.
Chemicals that lower the temperature at which the lubricant will flow.
Polymers that help maintain lubricant viscosity over a wide temperature range.
