A common question asked here about 20 times I'd guess.

And the answer is no. Put one together and contribute to the Bitog collective.

No. The information can only be inferred via MSDS which fall out of date.

Then even if there was such a list would you be able to interpret it and predict the future performance of a particular oil based on what you read?

No. The information can only be inferred via MSDS which fall out of date.

Plus the fact that the purpose of an SDS is for first responders, users and emergency personnel, so non-hazardous substances are excluded. It's not a recipe or complete list of everything and anything that impacts an oil's performance.

Most oils have a blend of bases.

Perhaps you should study the home page here. Lots of information that will answer your questions.
