Used Oil

Definition:
Used oil refers to any petroleum-based or synthetic oil that has been utilized in mechanical or industrial applications and contains contaminants such as metal particles, soot, and dirt.

Technical Description:
Used oil retains much of the original oil's viscosity but often becomes contaminated with particles from wear, combustion products, and other impurities. The oil may also degrade in quality, affecting its performance in machinery.

Uses:
Primarily recycled for reuse in lubrication or fuel production. It can also be reprocessed for use in lower-grade applications or used in waste oil boilers for heat generation.

Specs:

• Viscosity: Similar to original oil
• Flashpoint: Varies based on oil type
• Contaminants: Metal, carbon, or other residues
• Applications: Oil recycling, industrial processing.
