Light Mineral Oil – 15 BP
Description:
Mineral White Oil are highly refined mineral oils, and are composed of saturated aliphatic and alicyclic nonpolar hydrocarbons. They are odorless, tasteless, colorless, hydrophobic, and don’t change their color over time. The oil is biologically and chemically stable, and doesn’t support pathogenic bacterial growth, which makes it the standard choice of oil in most industries.
Molecular formula: C16H10N2Na2O7S2
Molecular Weight: 452.363
CAS No.: 8042-47-5
Application:
White mineral oils are the best for use as a blending base for pharmaceutical products and personal care, but it is their inert nature that makes them so beneficial. The oils resist moisture, extend, soften, smoothen, and lubricate in most formulations. You can easily find NF grade and USP grade white mineral oils in most products, typically antibiotics, tissues, sunscreens, lotions, and baby oils.
