Chemical Properties Of Mineral Oil CAS 8042-47-5

  1. Mineral Oil (MW: 23.9979) is typically a colourless, semi-transparent oily liquid with little or no fluorescence. It is odourless and tasteless at low temperatures but emits a slight petroleum odour when heated. It exhibits good chemical stability and is relatively stable to light, heat, and acids; however, prolonged exposure to light and heat may cause gradual oxidation.

  2. Based on chemical structure, it can be classified into saturated alkane mineral oil (MOSH) and aromatic hydrocarbon mineral oil (MOAH); based on viscosity, it can be divided into low-viscosity, medium-viscosity, and high-viscosity categories. Generally, the more carbon atoms, the larger the molecular weight, the higher the viscosity, and the lower the toxicity.

Product Application Of Mineral Oil CAS 8042-47-5

  1. In industry, white mineral oil is commonly used as a lubricant for various mechanical components (such as bearings, gears, and chains); its excellent insulation and heat dissipation properties make it suitable for transformer oil, capacitor oil, etc.; as a softener or plasticiser, white mineral oil is used in rubber and plastic processing; in metal cutting, stamping, and rolling processes, white oil is used as a cutting fluid, mould release agent, or rust preventive oil.
  2. In the cosmetics and personal care industry, paraffin oil can be used as a base oil in skincare products; in cosmetics, it can be used to adjust product texture; in hair conditioners, hair oils, and other products, it is used for hair care.
  3. Food-grade mineral oil can be used as a coating agent on the surfaces of fruits and vegetables, as a release agent in the production of bread, pastries, and candies, and for lubricating food processing equipment.
  4. Paraffin oil serves as a base in some ointments and creams, helping to disperse drug components while protecting the skin or mucous membranes; it is also used for lubricating certain medical devices (such as syringes and catheters).
  5. Petrolatum liquid can also be used as an emulsifier or carrier for pesticides, for skin care in livestock farming, for fattening leather, and as an additive in paints or inks.
