These low viscosity SIPPAR products provide a variety of high-quality characteristics, including narrow distillations, very low Pour Points, low aromatic levels with Flash Points appropriate to the application.

Because of their excellent properties, these products have been successfully used for several years in metal working fluids, silicone sealants, industrial coatings, textile oils, aerosols, low viscosity hydraulic fluids and explosive diluents.

Let us know what you consider the important parameters are for your application and our in-house technical team will recommend the best grades to meet your requirements.

Whilst we all endure the effects of the Corona Virus, at SIP it’s “business as usual”, with everyone working safely from home, meeting our customers’ needs. During these challenging times we continue to support our customers from our hub in Antwerp, so please reach out if we can be of assistance in any way. We have all material in stock and our blending and logistics capability is fully operational.

Like a limbo dancer, engine oil viscosities have been getting lower and lower over the past few years. To emphasise this, the SAE’s J300 viscosity standard established two new low viscosity grades definitions, SAE 8 and SAE 12.
The process of formulating “thinner” higher-performance oils has been progressing for more than a century and things have come a long way since the first engine oils were used in the early internal combustion engine cars of the late 19th Century.

Over the last 60 years, there have been enormous changes since Alexander Duckham launched the first multigrade engine oil, Duckhams Q 20W-50, to the point where 0W-XX oils could take 35 percent of the global market by 2030.

The question now is, what base oils will be needed to blend these viscosities and will there be the resources and willingness to meet these new specifications with the emphasis being shifted to electric vehicles.

Due to the current lockdowns around Europe, we understand that manufacturing plants for frozen, canned and packaged foods, breads and edible oils are operating at high capacity. With this comes an increased demand for food-grade oils and greases. To meet your needs to supply these products, SIP has a wide range of medicinal white oils, […]

Dear Giving Tree Participant,

Christmas 2019 was easily one of the best ever for the charity! The whole team at KidsOut were blown away by the fantastic response to the Giving Tree initiative with a record breaking 1,400 companies signing-up to the toy appeal – almost double the amount from 2018!
This overwhelming generosity meant KidsOut were able to distribute brand new toys to thousands of children in refuge over the Christmas period. No child should have to wake up on Christmas day without a present to unwrap and play with, and even receiving a simple present such as a cuddly toy, book, or board game will have made such a difference to these children and their families.
Alongside the contribution of tens of thousands of toys, an incredible £40,000 was raised solely through Giving Tree monetary donations – mostly via the Gold Text Tags!

At a sustainable Base – ‘The combination of continually improved fuel consumption for internal combustion engines and meeting electric vehicle lubricant needs is changing the nature of lubricant formations and, therefore, the base oils and additives required’

As has become our usual practice, we prefer to make a contribution to charity rather than sending
Christmas cards and gifts, so for 2019 we have again signed up to the ‘Giving Tree’ for the KidsOut Charity and purchased Christmas gifts for local disadvantaged children.

WOW – 1hr 40 mins to complete a 10 k walk on behalf of Shelter – a charity that campaigns to end homelessness and bad housing in England and Scotland. A great result for a worthy cause – well done indeed.

While meeting only a small part of overall lubricant demand, biobased lubricants can play a big role in mitigating use of fossil-based products and
the industry’s environmental impact. Mike Peters from specialty oils and fluids
company SIP highlights an innovation project that could offer commercial scale
biobased lubricants from sustainable crops.
