Sharing details on Raj Petro’s next-generation lubricants, Alok Sharman, Vice President (Commercial and Senior Director), Raj Petro Specialities, says, “Raj Petro Specialities has a range of next-generation lubricants and greases that have been developed keeping in mind the end-user expectations of the operational cost efficiencies with an improved vehicle and equipment performance. When it comes to engine oils, the low SAPS and HTHS is the present global requirement for any HDDEO, which ensures improved engine protection, reduced soot deposits and gradually increasing oil life. Our Rforce range of engine oils complies with the global standards derived by API and evolve from time to time as the norms are revised.”
Raj Petro Specialities’ Rforce range of engine oils includes Rforce Turbo, API CF4, 15W40, Rforce Turbo Plus, API CH4, 15W40, Rforce Agri Power, API CI4 for specialised application in an off-road application, Rforce 4100, API CI 4 Plus, 15W40, Rforce 8200, CI 4, 10W40 and the recent addition to this is Rforce 6100, API-CK4, 15W40 engine oil formulated with ‘KleenTech’ which improves engine performance and efficiency by reducing emission. The company continues to ensure the revival of approvals from the major engine OEMs of the globe, which confirms improved reliability and consistency in performance and supporting the users to meet the emission norms laid down by the statutory organisations.
The effective neutralisation capability of these engine oils ensures control information of acidic reactions that result during combustion, increasing a CV engine life, reducing micro pitting and controlling wear. Bearings and joints are critical components in any CV or off-highway equipment and deliver impact on the operational performance and improved productivity, controlling the shock loads and enhancing bearing life. Improved bearing facilitates the reduction in the changes and increases consistency in reliability, thus limiting the breakdowns. Heat generation and inconsistency result in the weld of the balls inside the bearing – a major concern for any user as well as service provider as these can lead to critical malfunction of either wheel or axle.
Raj Petro Specialities has engineered high-performance greases with ‘heat resist technology’ which increases the life of the greases inside the bearings, offering the user peace of mind for long duration and delivering a smooth ride. Zoomol Ultramile Red Gel Grease, the company’s recent entrant, delivers a promisingly consistent mileage of 1,00,000 + kilometres, while the other earlier formulation, Onwo Multishield Plus 2 Blue, has testimonials from prominent fleet owners for delivering 1,25,000 + kilometres in mass transportation and long haulage applications. The formulations are compliant to NLGI, FSSAI, DIN, with usability in upcoming electric vehicles as well as hybrid.
“Raj Petro Specialities is one of the very few manufacturers to develop and deliver all the ranges in-house, such as Onwo Synthetic HSL Grease 2 and Onwo Multishield EM which aid lubrication in electrical motor bearings and high-speed rotor components. We are a notable service provider to the country’s hydraulic and gear component manufacturers who in turn cater to on and off-highway applications. Our products comply with the specifications of the major pumps and hydraulic systems across the globe. A hydraulic system is a critical component of any off-highway equipment and we take special care of this system with our specialised product engineering”, shares Sharman.
It also delivers mineral oils to polyglycol-based formulations, exporting to some of the stringent markets of LATAM, EU, and Africa and East ASEAN countries as well. With generic applications, the company has catered to the needs of environment protection with specially formulated biodegradable as well as fire-resistant grades of hydraulic oils. Its products such as Kyros Hydrasuper HVI hydraulic oils have proved to be the best-in-class with application in some of the harshest environments.
Being the critical function of any CV vehicle, gears and transmission seek extreme care and diligent maintenance with vital lubricant support. This is required for consistency and efficiency. With both automatic and manual transmission prevalent on Indian roads and gear structures changing to hybrid forms enforcing renewed formulation in lubricants to endure changing rigorous conditions inside the hubs and casings while requiring efficient filming over the tooth to improve their life, Raj Petro Specialities offers a range of transmission oils under Zoomol Zenco Trans and Kyros Supergear which are formulated and approved in accordance with Allison, the global OEM, and meeting the expectation of major OEMs of the globe.
Raj Petro Specialities is engaged in consistently evolving the products to match the needs of the constantly changing market needs, aiming at reducing the total ownership cost and complying with the environmental guidelines. Its strength of consistency in developing products for thermal management derives from the supremacy obtained in meeting the requirements in electric vehicle technology and hybrids, which is a critical concern area. The emphasis to support and cater to the needs of the evolving scenario in the segment of mobility has been placed globally, which is continuously supported by its two manufacturing facilities on opposite coasts equipped with DSIR and NABL-certified laboratory and highly functional developmental teams.
