Description

Process oils are specialized natural or synthetic lubricants used in the chemical and technical industries. They serve either as key ingredients in finished products or as processing aids for raw materials.

Process oils offer several advantages over unprocessed oils, including enhanced stability, improved performance, and better compatibility with other materials. They are also more efficient in their applications, minimizing the need for frequent replacements. For example, rubber process oils enhance the processability and quality of rubber products, while green rubber process oils provide environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional rubber process oils.

This report focuses on trends and disruptions and analyzes new and upcoming trends in industries that are expected to drive demand for process oils. The study will complement our recent market forecast report on the global lubricants market.

The study period is 2022–2031, with 2024 as the base year and 2025–2031 as the forecast period. The process oils examined are white oils, transformer oils (electrical oils), and rubber process oils, each segmented by application and product type.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
