Company

Korean insulating-oil know-how, produced in Vietnam

DONGNAM Petrovina was established in Hai Phong in 2015 and completed its production plant in 2017. The plant supplies mineral insulating oils to IEC 60296:2020 and the BIOTRAN natural ester range to transformer builders and utilities across Southeast Asia and beyond.

Technology

Five decades of refining

In 1976 DONGNAM exported transformer oil for a 154 kV unit at a hydroelectric plant in the Philippines, Korea's first export of transformer oil. That process expertise runs the Hai Phong line today.

Nature

Biodegradable fluids

BIOTRAN natural esters are made from vegetable oil. They are readily biodegradable, non-toxic to aquatic life, and far less flammable than mineral oil.

Human

Safer substations

K-class fire safety and high moisture tolerance protect people, equipment and transformer life. BIOTRAN-35S carries UL, FM and Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen approvals.

Process Oil

Process Oil

Process oil is a high-performance filler with excellent compatibility, processability and dispersibility for natural and synthetic rubber. It softens rubber quickly, keeps quality uniform during molding, and improves flame resistance, tensile strength, elasticity, extensibility and wear resistance.
