Saxsins supplies Group I base oils 150,500 and 600 typically range from amber to golden brown in color due to the sulphur, nitrogen and ring structures remaining in the oil. They typically have a viscosity index (VI) from 90 to 105. The base oils on the high end of the scale are often referred to as having a high viscosity index (HVI).
This relates to how much the viscosity changes with temperature, i.e., how much it thins out at higher temperatures and thickens at low temperatures. Group I base oils supplies by saxsons are the most common type used for industrial oils, although increasingly more Group II base oils are being used.
