The Tatneft-Nizhnekamskneftekhim-Oil plant has launched new products, Tatneft oils VMGZ-45 and VMGZ-55. These are advanced all-season hydraulic oils, which are produced solely from the high-quality base oils obtained from the hydrocracking unit of the TANECO Oil Refining and Petrochemical Complex.

New oils contain efficient additive packages that provide the necessary viscosity, antioxidant, anti-wear, anti-corrosion, low-temperature, and anti-foam properties. All this guarantees the reliable operation of hydraulic machines within the range of ambient temperatures from -45°С to +80°С.

High-quality hydrocracked base oils of TANECO provide the Tatneft’s VMGZ oils with the best performance characteristics as compared to similar oils of other manufacturers that traditionally use low-viscosity mineral base oils. The environmental friendliness of the new products is determined by the fact that the high resistance of the TANECO’s base oils to oxidation and degradation extends the oil life expectancy and reduces waste formation.

The new products will be sold through the network of Tatneft-AZS Centre and are recommended for the use in hydraulic drives and hydraulic control systems for construction, road, logging, cargo handling, and other machinery.
