Product data
Access datasheets for our NEOFLO grades.
The NEOFLO* product grade names are based on their environmental performance category and their carbon number distribution.
Shell chemicals companies offer three series of NEOFLO products:
- Premium = 1
- Enhanced = 2
- Standard = 3
Products are numbered firstly by category (1, 2, 3) with the following two numbers representing the product's carbon number range. For example, NEOFLO 1-58 is a Premium grade base fluid with a carbon number range of 15 to 18.
BIO-BASE™ is a registered trademark of Shrieve Chemical Products Company. Shrieve Chemical Products, Inc, located in the Woodlands, Texas, is a privately owned, independent supplier of performance fluids and specialty chemicals including drilling fluids, additives and production chemicals. Many of the Standard Series NEOFLO internal olefins are used in the manufacture of BIO-BASE products, which are paraffin based.
