High Viscosity White Mineral Oil: Saybolt Viscometer, 1 Gallon

High Viscosity White Mineral Oil: Saybolt Viscometer, 1 Gallon

White Mineral Oil is used in asphalt binder testing with the Saybolt Viscometer and is good to 230°F (110°C). This White Mineral Oil is highly refined and has an oxidation inhibitor to prevent clouding at higher temperatures. During viscosity testing the oil displaces air to give accurate and reliable results. Shipped in a 1gal (3.79L) container.

This oil is good for use in viscometer and testing components due to its stability and high purity.

Includes:

• 1gal White Mineral Oil

Store in a dry, odorless environment at room temperature to maintain quality.

What is Mineral Oil

Mineral oil, also known as white mineral oil or white oil, is a highly refined, transparent and stable oil derived from petroleum through a distillation process. Known for its high purity, odorless and tasteless qualities, mineral oil is used in many industries including food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and various industrial applications. Its versatility and safety makes it suitable for both direct food contact and incidental food contact, meeting the requirements of the food industry and other sectors.

In the food industry white mineral oils are used as release agents to prevent food from sticking to processing equipment or machinery. This is especially important in large scale manufacturing where product quality and equipment efficiency is critical. Mineral oil is also used in the poultry industry where it controls scaly mites in chickens infected with these parasites, showing its value in incidental food contact. All food mineral oils for direct food contact must comply with federal regulations including FDA regulations 21 CFR 172.878 which sets the highest standards for safety and purity.

Beyond food applications mineral oil is a staple in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Its gentle, non-irritating properties make it an ideal carrier oil in products such as baby oil, baby lotions, cold creams, ointments and other cosmetic formulations. The high stability and no scent or taste ensures white mineral oil doesn’t interfere with the final product’s fragrance or texture, making it suitable for sensitive skin and many cosmetic and pharmaceutical uses.Mineral oil is produced through a multi-stage process that removes moisture, sulfur, alcohol and other additives resulting in a highly refined oil with excellent clarity and stability. Manufacturers must comply with strict standards to meet USP and NF. USP mineral oil is the highest industry standard for purity and quality and is used in pharmaceuticals, food and cosmetics.

Industrial applications also benefit from the unique properties of mineral oil. Its high kinematic viscosity and stability makes it a good lubricant for machinery and equipment and a reliable release agent in various manufacturing processes. With different viscosity grades available customers can choose the right oil for their specific technical requirements whether for lubricants, release agents or other industrial uses.

Overall mineral oil is a refined multi-purpose oil that meets the standards of quality, safety and regulatory compliance. Its wide range of applications from food and pharmaceuticals to cosmetics and industrial lubricants makes it an important component in modern manufacturing and product formulation. With its proven track record of stability, purity and effectiveness mineral oil is a trusted component in many products and processes across various industries.
