Petro-Canada Lubricants Inc., a Suncor Energy business, has broadened their product portfolio available ex-tank Dordrecht, Netherlands with the addition of Group II PURITYTM base oils. Petro-Canada Lubricants Inc. already has a range of Group III PURITY base oils and PURETOLTM pharmaceutical white oils well established in Europe, serving a wide number of markets and customers.

"There is growing interest among European manufacturers to use Group II base oils for mid-tier lubricant formulations," said Christie Longhurst, Category Portfolio Manager, Petro-Canada Lubricants Inc. "With this expansion we can ensure our European customers will have access to a comprehensive slate of Petro-Canada Lubricants base oils that are among the purest in the world."

As pioneers in the development of Group II and Group III base oils, Petro-Canada Lubricants Inc. selects high quality feedstocks, which are processed in a high severity HT PURITY Process, which combines hydro-treating and hydrocracking with either solvent chill de-waxing or catalytic de-waxing, followed by Hydro-finishing.

"Backed by world-class research and development, our reliable supply consistently delivers products of unparalleled quality which will enable our European customers to do the same," said Longhurst.
