Low-viscosity base oils meet industry regulatory criteria as well as occupational safety and environmental protection regulations and technical requirements such as solution behavior, extreme temperature resistance, variable viscosities and outstanding, defined boiling behavior.

Cyclopentane is the first ring-shaped, naturally occurring hydrocarbon. It is present in very small quantities in crude oil, the most common source being naphtha from crackers. The chemical formula for this cycloalkane, or naphthene, is C₅H₁₀. 

n-Hexane is a chain-like hydrocarbon from the alkane group with the chemical formula C₆H₁₄. It is the unbranched representative and technically the most important of the five hexane isomers.
