Detailed Product Overview

WHITE OIL, with the chemical formula CnH2n+2, is a highly refined mineral oil primarily consisting of saturated hydrocarbons. This composition renders it chemically stable and non-reactive, making it suitable for sensitive applications. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is characterized by its low viscosity and neutral pH, enhancing its ease of use in various formulations. Its density ranges from 0.8 to 0.9 g/cm³, and it remains stable under recommended storage conditions, boasting a shelf life of two years from the date of manufacture. These properties make WHITE OIL an ideal choice for industries requiring a reliable and consistent product. In industrial applications, WHITE OIL is extensively utilized across sectors such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food processing, and lubrication. In the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, its non-reactive and stable nature ensures compatibility with active ingredients, providing a neutral base for ointments, lotions, and creams. In food processing, it serves as a food-grade lubricant, facilitating smooth operation of machinery without compromising on safety or hygiene. Its low viscosity ensures effective lubrication, reducing wear and tear in mechanical components. Additionally, its odorless quality and insolubility in water make it an excellent choice for formulations that require strict sensory and stability parameters. WHITE OIL is available in a technical grade that meets the stringent quality standards required for industrial applications in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Buyers should verify the purity manually, as it is crucial for maintaining the integrity of their formulations. Consistency in appearance and viscosity are essential quality indicators to assess upon arrival.
