Base Stocks for Industrial Lubricants

As one of the world’s largest manufacturers of base stocks, ExxonMobil has all your bases covered — including products for industrial lubricants.

Industrial applications, from chemical manufacturing to mining, require reliable and versatile lubricants that can keep up with the sector’s evolving demands. To help meet the industry’s unique needs, we offer a robust product offering across our Group I CORE™ and Group II/II+ EHC™ base stock slates.

We also understand that innovation is key to helping formulators stay ahead of the curve, which is why we are committed to providing cutting-edge products like our EHC 340 MAX™ base stock. As the global Group I manufacturing capacity continues to decline, ExxonMobil recognizes that there is unmet demand for high-viscosity base stocks. EHC 340 MAX will help address this gap by offering similar viscosity metrics to a bright stock while providing improved performance.

    Addressing the supply shortage

    Since 2010, more than 20% of the world’s Group I bright stock capacity has been lost, creating rising demand for products that can fill the gap.
