LUBRICATING OILS, PETROLEUM Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Petroleum based lubricating oils are widely used in automotive engines and industrial machinery to reduce friction, control heat, and protect moving components from wear. These oils are refined from crude petroleum to remove impurities and improve stability and lubrication performance. In systems where lubricating oils contact O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components, chemical compatibility should be evaluated to prevent swelling, softening, or material degradation. Proper storage conditions, safe handling practices, and the use of appropriate PPE help ensure safe operation and long term equipment reliability.
