Polymer and
Process Oils

Polymer and plastic manufacturers recognize that there’s a Sonneborn solution for them across a very broad line of products with the ability to custom formulate. These highly refined, low-volatility white mineral oils are saturated, colorless, aliphatic hydrocarbons that are chemically inert, with excellent UV stability.

Sonneborn polymer and process oils are added to plastics such as crystalline polystyrene (PS), high-impact polystyrene (HIPS), polyolefins, thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), and various other polymers to improve and control the melt flow rate of the finished polymer. These products are also employed as internal lubricants and/or external lubricants in numerous polymer formulations.
