Mineral Oil USP Grade

Mineral Oil is a petroleum-derived mixture that acts as a strong moisture barrier. Light mineral oil has low viscosity for fast absorption and fine uses, while heavy mineral oil has high viscosity and a thicker film that handles heavy loads and better resists thermal breakdown.

Mineral Oil or Liquid Paraffin is a highly refined colorless and odorless paraffinic oil, manufactured from processed petroleum. It contains aliphatic hydrocarbons that are obtained from distilling petroleum at high temperatures to achieve two fractions: light mineral oil with a density between 0.818-0.880 and heavy mineral oil with a density of 0.86-0.91. Due to its very low viscosity and high purity, light mineral oil has wide industry applications such as food, pharma, and cosmetics just to name a few.
