Description:
White mineral oil (petroleum), with the CAS number 8042-47-5, is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless hydrocarbon mixture derived from the distillation of petroleum. It is composed primarily of saturated aliphatic and cyclic hydrocarbons, making it chemically stable and non-reactive under normal conditions. This substance is characterized by its low viscosity, high purity, and excellent lubricating properties, which make it suitable for various applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. White mineral oil is often used as a laxative, moisturizer, and as a base for ointments and creams due to its emollient properties. It is also utilized in industrial applications as a lubricant and coolant. Importantly, white mineral oil is considered safe for use in food and personal care products, provided it meets regulatory standards. However, it is essential to handle it properly, as excessive exposure can lead to skin irritation or other health concerns. Overall, its versatility and stability make it a valuable substance across multiple sectors.
