WHITE OIL is a versatile industrial chemical widely used for various applications. It is packaged in bulk, making it suitable for large-scale operations.

Product Introduction

WHITE OIL, also known as mineral oil, is a refined petroleum product that has extensive applications across industries, particularly in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Known for its inert properties and high purity, WHITE OIL is employed as a lubricant, moisturizer, and carrier in various formulations. In the pharmaceutical sector, it serves as an essential ingredient in ointments, creams, and other topical applications, providing a soothing effect on the skin. The cosmetic industry utilizes WHITE OIL for its emollient properties, making it a popular choice in lotions, hair care products, and makeup formulations. Kivi Chemicals supplies WHITE OIL in bulk packaging, catering to manufacturers and suppliers across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and the broader East African region, ensuring they have access to high-quality materials for their production needs.

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. The oil's stability and moisture content should also be checked to ensure compliance with the specified maximum of 0.1%. Kivi Industrial Chemicals Limited ensures that WHITE OIL aligns with both local and international regulatory requirements, providing a reliable product for East African markets. Handling and storage of WHITE OIL require adherence to standard practices for mineral oils. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its stability and extend its shelf life. The product is packaged in bulk containers, each holding 172.60 kilograms, making it suitable for large-scale industrial operations. Proper sealing of containers is essential to prevent contamination and ensure product integrity. Kivi Industrial Chemicals Limited offers a consistent supply chain, ensuring timely delivery and availability of WHITE OIL across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and the broader East African region, supporting diverse industrial needs.
