Helping mining companies achieve sustain- able goals

The company is currently doing business in high-quality premium lubricants manufactured from its own group II plus base oils imported from its Yeosu Refinery in South Korea. These high-performance lubricants offer reliability at all temperatures, lower oil consumption, significantly lower fuel consumption, and extend service intervals. Whenever engines and gearboxes run freer and more reliably, operating costs are lower because they consume less; if a 1% lower fuel consumption means fuel savings of several hundred rupees per vehicle/year, depending on operating conditions. We also focus on reducing the overall lubrication costs of our customers in the mining sector and have made services an integral part of our offerings so that the mining companies achieve sustainable goals.

Investing in environmentally sustainable lubricant solutions

Due to the investments being made in environmentally sustainable lubricant solutions, the market is moving towards fully synthetic products (Group III and PAO-based Base Oils). The increasing popularity of the synthetic lubricants due to their various advantages over conventional lubricants (such as excellent thermal stability, wear & tear protection, good load carrying capacity, and low friction) are likely to propel industry growth in the B2B segment over the next few years. GS Caltex is already prepared to address the challenges in the market and become the preferred solution provider of Synthetic Lubricants (PAO-based) and additives that complement the performance of the finished lubricants by making it more sustainable, fuel economic, and reliable.

GS Caltex KIXX LUBO Group II/III base oil has excellent low temperature properties and exceptionally bright white clear transparent qualities. It is environment-friendly, has low volatility, reduces oil consumption, and improves fuel economy. GS Caltex offers high thermal and oxidation stability to support drain interval extensions. All these advantages are the result of our latest cutting-edge hydrocracking technology and our state of the art and one of largest and most modern refinery located at Yeosu in South Korea.
