Heavy alkyl benzene (HAB) is a segment of linear alkylbenzene (LAB) production. With the properties of heat transfer oil and lubricating greases, the HAB can produce gasoline and diesel engine oils, and hydraulic fluid is indicated. To pass 5W30, 5W40, 10W40, and 15W40 standards, different engine oils have been formulated. Moreover, the formulations contain various HAB amounts as a minor component and other quantities of solvent neutral 100 (SN-100), SN-150, and SN-650 as a significant component. In addition, the measurement of standard properties of obtained oils indicates that some of them do have the designed criteria. Furthermore, innovation and development in oils demonstrate that they have good performance with different HAB blends as significant components and polyisobutene (PIB) as minor features that have successfully been employed in several ISO-grade production hydraulic fluids with achieved materials that do have suitable air release and demulsibility.

Market Segmentation Analysis
By type, the market is segmented into di-alkylbenzene, di-phenyl alkane, poly alkylbenzene. By properties, the market is segmented into good thermal and oxidative stability, high flash points, low pour points, good solubilizing characteristics, generally light in color with low odor, low conradson carbon residues, non-hazardous for transportation, and others. By application, the market is segmented into lubricating oil, heat transfer oil, corrosion inhibitor, oilfield chemicals, textile auxiliaries, refrigerating oils, electrical oils, plasticizers, greases, and others.
Barium sulphonate derivative of heavy alkylate is used as an excellent corrosion /rust inhibitor & typically used for the manufacture of greases, metalworking fluids- rust preventives as it gives better protective coating films, good high resistance to humidity and saltwater spray test and as a detergent in fuel additives for both carburettors/ fuel injector components of otto engines benefit from fouling. This derivative will grow significantly in the forecast period owing to various properties. Moreover, refrigerator oil is the type of lubricant oil consisting of an alkylbenzene oil, including at least 80% by weight of alkylbenzene having a molecular weight of 120-288 viscosity between 3,0-7,0 CST at a temperature of 400 C. In addition, the lubricant composition consisting of alkylbenzene oil and about 8% by weight of one or more additives selected from a group comprised of improvers of oxidation resistance and thermal stability, metal inactivators, corrosion inhibitors, viscosity index improvers, lubricity additives, reducers of fluidity & flocculation point, dispersants, detergents, antiwear agents, antifoaming agents, and extreme pressure resistant additives which increase the properties of the lubrication oils.
Global Heavy Alkyl Benzenes Market Geographical Share
APAC is holding the largest market share of heavy alkyl benzene due to refrigerating machine oil and electrical insulation oil. The increasing awareness of environmental issues and government regulation will increase the EV industry in this region, which will increase the demand for electrical insulation oil and is expected to boost the heavy alkyl benzene market during the forecast period.
