Cloud Point Oil

[ Lubrication Knowledge Menu ] [ Products and Services Directory

Cloud point: The cloud point is the temperature at which dissolved solids in the oil, such as paraffin wax, begin to form and separate from the oil. As the temperature drops, wax crystallizes and becomes visible. Certain oils must be maintained at temperatures above the cloud point to prevent clogging of filters.
