CAS 8042-47-5
:White mineral oil (petroleum)
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.

CAS:<p>Mineral oil is a synthetic liquid that is used as a lubricant, in paints and varnishes, and as an ingredient in other products. It does not cause allergic reactions because it is not an organic substance. Mineral oil is made from petroleum by distillation and purification. The process of heating the oil causes it to decompose into various hydrocarbons and polymers that are cationic surfactants. This product has been shown to have carcinogenic potential, which may be due to its ability to bind with DNA and form adducts that can initiate mutations. Mineral oil has low expression levels in fetal bovine tissue (less than 1% of total fatty acids). It also inhibits polymerase chain reaction (PCR) activity in vitro, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the synthesis of DNA. Mineral oil is usually stored at room temperature and reacts with ethylene diamine, causing cross-linking reactions that create polymeric matrices with a low bioavailability</p>Color and Shape:Clear LiquidParaffin Liquid Heavy (Mineral Oil Heavy) extrapure, 110-230mPas
