SUPPLEMENT TO
THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION
1. Bright stock oil is a heavy type of oil with a maximum viscosity of
35 Engler degrees at 50 centigradea? It has always been in short
supply. In the thirties the Deuts Jh-?RussiscI a Handelsge sells chaft
(German-Russian Trade Company) in Berlin used 6 percent DEROP
oil as admixture or the production of automobile oil. During the
war another variety of the oil was produced by mixing opanol with
Rotring automobile oil of 3 to 4 percent and using it as aircraft engine
oil.
2. The following new processes for the production of bright stock oil
have been developed in East Germany:
a. Lubricant oils produced from Austrian crude oil were submitted to
a Voltol process (Voltolisierung) at the Luetzkendorf Plant.
b. Paraffin produced by the TTH process was submitted to a chlorination
process in the Zeitz Troeglitz Plant? The production is cu-rently
about one ton a month. The viscosity rating is around 2,000 Engler
degrees at 50 centigrades which would allow production at any
viscosity up to 600 Engler degrees. It was planned to build a large
installation, using the Zeitz process, near Zeitz with an East
German government subsidy of 1,500,000 eastmarks in order to meet
domestic requirements.of 16,0'0 tons of automobile oil with a
viscosity rating of 6 Engler degrees at 50 centigrades. However, the
requested construction of the new installation was refused by the Russians
without explanation. Source assumes that patent rights may have been
involved with this decision. The patent application had been made in
Moscow.
Comment. The report supersedes an earlier repor
L
or a bright stock oil installation at Zeitz TroegLitz.
