At SIP, we are committed to driving the transition towards a sustainable future and as such in January 2025 we were delighted to announce a new distribution partnership with Biobase Sweden AB. We are now able to offer bio-based, renewable, and biodegradable high performance functional fluids developed specifically for applications beyond fuels.

BIO-BASE

High Solvency Base Fluids

BIO-BASE is a series of bio-based low viscosity base fluids for industrial lubricants with characteristics similar to naphthenics, offering high solvency along with a very high viscosity index (VI), high biodegradability, and an excellent response to antioxidants. Compatible with most of conventional base oils, plasticizers, additives and sealant materials.

FEATURES

• High solvent power
• Extremely high viscosty index
• Low pour point
• Bio-based content ≥98%
• Very low Product Carbon Footprint

BIO-VYBE

Loss Lubricant Base Fluids

BIO-VYBE is a series of renewable high viscosity base fluids based on natural and modified esters. Applications include process oils, wood treatment, chain oils, rock drilling oils, lubricity enhancement, and serve as a bright stock alternative.

FEATURES

• Wide viscosity range (46-320 mm²/s at 40°C)
• LuSC-listed for EU Ecolabel
• Good low temperature properties
• Easily biodegradable
• Fully biobased
• Economic alternative to vegetable oil thickened by viscosity modifiers

BIO-SOL

Bio-based Solvents

BIO-SOL is a series of bio-based solvent bases for use in degreasers, functional fluids and lubricants. The products cover a range of solvency properties and are very low in VOCs. The products are REACH/CLP-compliant, and not classified as dangerous goods.

FEATURES

• BIO-SOL 4 Bioalternative to isoalkanes
• BIO-SOL 5 Natural ester blend with high solvency (LuSC-listed)
• BIO-SOL D80 Bioalternative to fossil D80 naphtha
• BIO-SOL AR Bioalternative to aromatic naphtha

BIO-REEF

Renewable Base Oil

BIO-REEF 55/10 is a general application base oil built on a combination of bio-based and re-refined components. It’s like API Group III base oils, but with the excellent solvent power of a naphthenic base oil. The product has high VI, low pour point, and low volatility

FEATURES

• High solvent power
• High viscosity index
• Low volatility
• Low pour point
• Carbon footprint saving 50% compared to virgin mineral oil
