VBASE^® Base Oils

You need a sustainable lubricant offering, but your brand is built on quality and performance so you can't compromise.

Built for sustainable and circular practices, VBASE® Oil Company produces proprietary synthetic ester base oils and lubricants that outperform traditional products but are biobased, biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-bioaccumulating.

Available across a range of viscosity grades (ISO 32-100), VBASE® base oils provide miscibility with all major base oils, easy formulation, and excellent solvency.
