The world needs base oils
The decarbonisation of our energy systems is reinforcing the vital societal role of base oils, while creating demand for higher performance, longer life and more sustainable formulations. Nynas has the solutions to help drive this transition forward.
RELIABLE SUPPLY, CLOSER TO HOME
As global supply chains face increasing pressure, Nynas provides lubricant and grease manufacturers with naphthenic base oils produced in Northern Europe, combining dependable deliveries, technical expertise and proximity to key markets.
Greases – Efficiency in Every Step
Nynas naphthenic base oils reduce thickener demand and cooking temperatures, lowering energy costs. Strong oil–soap interaction minimises bleeding and extends shelf life, while excellent low-temperature flow ensures reliable performance. A broad range enables optimal formulation matching.

EVO – REDUCES FOOTPRINT WITH NO REFORMULATION
Many Nynas base oils are available as EVO grades, partly based on renewable raw materials using a certified mass-balance approach. EVO grades help lubricant manufacturers reduce the product carbon footprint of their base oils by around 25% while maintaining the same performance, approvals and formulation characteristics as conventional grades – without the need for reformulation.
Industrial Lubricants – Precision, Protection, Performance
Used as base oils in industrial lubricant blends, Nynas oils provide excellent additive solubility, deposit control, and seal compatibility. Wide viscosity range supports applications from hydraulics to gear oils.
