Iranian Bitumen may be more expensive that Saudi or Russian Bitumen, but it's believed the quality has the worth to pay more. this is the reason UAE government buys most of its bitumen needs from Iran, Jey refinery.

Bitumen Types and Their Uses

There are different types and they can be used for many of the applications mentioned above
 

FURNACE / FUEL OIL (FO)

Furnace oil is a Dark, viscous residual fuel oil which is obtained by blending residual products from various refining processes with suitable diluent usually middle distillates to obtain the required fuel oil grades. These fuel oil grades are similar in nature and have been marketed under different specifications in various countries. In India it is sold under BIS specification under IS 1593-1982, Medium Grade 2 .

Uses of Furnace Oil Are:

As fuel for Power Generation in DG Sets
As fuel for Boilers/ Furnaces/ Air preheater/ Any other Heaters
Fuel for Bunkering
Fuel/ Feedstock in Fertilizer Plant

PARAFFIN WAX

These are harder, lower oil content waxes, generally with an oil content of 1.0 mass percent or less, white in color, and meeting Food and Drug Administration standards for purity and safety. The quality is determined by the extent of the refining process.  Refined waxes are suitable for the manufacture of drugs and cosmetics, for coating paper used in food packaging, and for other critical applications. Food grade paraffin wax produces less smoke than other paraffin and burns more slowly.

Paraffin Waxes are used in a wide range of industries. Either as a major constituent or as an end-product, as manufacturing aid or an important additive, used in the production of:

• Candles, torches, tapers, matches, floor polishes
• Car polishes, corrosion protectors
• Electrical industries, cable filling compounds
• Tires and rubber products, as ozone protection
• Paper production
• Carbon paper, crayons and pencils
• Ski Waxes
• Plastic processing, sliding, parting compounds and stabilizers
• Coating Waxes in wood processing industry
• Protection against radiation
• Wax figures & images/graphics/products, hot melts
• Fertilizer coatings

Base products for detergents, softeners, defoaming agents, flame retarding products, paint, lacquers and cleaning materials, etc.

As a food additive, a glazing agent with E number E905

The paraffin test is used in forensics to detect granules of gunpowder in the hand of a shooting suspect.

Food-grade paraffin wax is used in some candies to make them look shiny. Although edible, it is not digestible; it passes right through the body without being broken down. Non-food grade paraffin wax can contain oils and other impurities which may be toxic or harmful.

Impure mixtures of mostly paraffin wax are used in wax baths for beauty and therapy purposes.

SLACK WAX

One of the many products derived from refining is lubricating oil, from which a byproduct called slack wax is obtained. Slack wax is a mixture of oil and wax. It is the product, which serves as IGI's feedstock and that is further refined and blended to create value-added petroleum wax products.

The Slack Wax product line provides a broad range of melting points and physical characteristics for use as blending components or waterproofing agents in the manufacture of various industrial products such as candles, polishes, synthetic firelogs, matches, inks, weed bars, carbon paper, canvass coatings, and composite wood panels. Applied externally, these waxes can also function as good dust suppressants and/or controlled-release agents for various chemicals and fertilizers.

A semi-refined wax, distinguished from scale wax by having a generally higher oil content. Semi-refined slack waxes may have oil contents up to 30 mass percent.  Slack waxes with oil content below 10 mass percent are used for manufacture of religious candles.  Slack wax is the crude wax produced by chilling and solvent filter-pressing wax distillate. There are basically three types of slack wax produced, the type depending on the viscosity of the lube oil being dewaxed: low neutral, medium neutral, and heavy neutral.

BASE OIL

There are five specific categories of base oils. These categories define the type of base stock the oil is formulated from. The categories are as follows. Note that the base oil group category is followed by the manufacturing method (in bold print) and then a description of the oil characteristics for each category.

Group I - Solvent Freezing

Group 1 base oils are the least refined of all the groups. They are usually a mix of different hydrocarbon chains with little or no uniformity. While some automotive oils on the market use Group I stocks, they are generally used in less demanding applications.

Group II - Hydro processing and Refining

Group II base oils are common in mineral based motor oils currently available on the market. They have fair to good performance in lubricating properties such as volatility, oxidative stability and flash/fire points. They have only fair performance in areas such as pour point, cold crank viscosity and extreme pressure wear.

Group – III Hydro processing and Refining

Group III base oils are subjected to the highest level of mineral oil refining of the base oil groups. Although they are not chemically engineered, they offer good performance in a wide range of attributes as well as good molecular uniformity and stability. They are commonly mixed with additives and marketed as synthetic or semi-synthetic products. Group III base oils have become more common in America in the last decade.

Group IV -Chemical Reactions

Group IV base oils are chemically engineered synthetic base stocks. Polyalphaolefins (PAO's) are a common example of a synthetic base stock. Synthetics, when combined with additives, offer excellent performance over a wide range of lubricating properties. They have very stable chemical compositions and highly uniform molecular chains. Group IV base oils are becoming more common in synthetic and synthetic-blend products for automotive and industrial applications.

Group V - As Indicated

Group V base oils are used primarily in the creation of oil additives. Esters and polyolesters are both common Group V base oils used in the formulation of oil additives. Group V oils are generally not used as base oils themselves, but add beneficial properties to other base oils.

Note that the additives referred to in the Group V description are not aftermarket type oil additives. The additives referred to are used in the chemical engineering and blending of motor oils and other lubricating oils by the specific oil company that produces the finished product.
 

RUBBER PROCESS OIL

Rubber processed oil (RPO) is an intermediate product with excellent processing ability and tensile properties. It is recommended for use in processing of rubber for the manufacturing of automobile tires, tubes and many other molded rubber goods.

Uses of RPO

• As a lubricant in rubber processing,
• As a component in ink
• Production in Tire industry
• Production of Diesel
• Used in manufacturing of White Oil.
