Intermediates - Fluids
Our fluids' area is a global leader in producing differentiated hydrocarbon fluids and oxygenated fluids. Available in a variety of distillation ranges and evaporation rates, they are suitable for use as solvents, dispersants and diluents with application in several important sectors of the Brazilian economy, such as: agribusiness (pesticides), construction, metallurgy, water treatment, on-shore and off-shore exploration, among others.
From crude oil to the final product, our fully integrated manufacturing plants have the capacity to meet the needs of the Brazilian market, offering a global and reliable supply. In order to support the fluids' business in Brazil, ExxonMobil Química Ltda has two terminals located in Paulinia and Santos, Sao Paulo, which supply all regions in the country.
Intermediates' products are internationally known through the following global brands:
- ESCAID - Special fluids for minerals and oil exploration.
- EXXSOL – Special dearomatized fluids with low aromatics and good solvency for a wide range of applications.
- ISOPAR – Special isoparaffinic fluids of high purity with consistency and quality uniformity, and with narrower boiling ranges.
- SOLVESSO - Heavy aromatic fluids with high solvency and controlled evaporation characteristics that make them versatile in many industrial and agricultural applications.
- SOMENTOR – Special fluids used for aluminum rolling.
- Among others.
Intermediates – OXO
Since the first railcar of EXXALTM 8 branched alcohols rolled out of our Baton Rouge facility in 1948, our OXO business has developed ExxonMobil Higher Olefins, EXXALTM alcohols, JAYFLEXTM Plasticizers and ExxonMobil NeoAcids, helping our customers create derivative products that make people’s lives better.
We offer the industry’s broadest range of high-molecular-weight (HMW) plasticizers. JayflexTM high-molecular-weight plasticizers provide an optimum balance of properties with outstanding performance and permanence.
ExxalTM alcohols are branched, primary alcohols used to synthesize surfactants, polymer additives, lube and fuel additives, adhesives, and other industrial products.
Higher olefins are reactive intermediates used to manufacture products used in lube oil additives, surfactants and agricultural chemicals to coatings and corrosion inhibitors.
ExxonMobilTM neo acids exhibit highly branched structures creating steric hindrance that gives excellent thermal and hydrolytic stability in derivatives.

• Nov. 8, 2024Our history
ExxonMobil was the first oil and gas company to set up operations in Brazil. We arrived in the country on January 17, 1912, under the name of Standard Oil Company of Brazil, and since then we have kept uninterrupted activities in the country.
As part of our legacy, we have the Esso brand and the Tiger mascot in the gas stations. Also important to mention is The Reporter Esso radio cast and TV news show, which subsequently gave birth to the Esso Journalism Award, one of the most prestigious awards in the history of Brazilian journalism for six decades.
