About Liquid Paraffin 32

Liquid Paraffin (also known as Paraffinum Liquidum or Mineral Oil) is a highly purified mixture of saturated hydrocarbons derived from petroleum. It is a chemically inert (non-reactive), colorless, odorless, and tasteless oil.

Features

Medium Viscosity

This indicates that the oil is neither too thin (like water) nor too thick (like molasses). It possesses balanced, medium fluidity. Viscosity Grade (cSt @ 40°C): "32" typically denotes the kinematic viscosity value of the oil.

Chemical Stability (Inertness)

Does not readily react with other substances. This preserves its stability during storage and ensures it does not alter or degrade the composition of end products.

High Purity

Grades utilized in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food sectors are extensively refined in strict compliance with international pharmacopeia standards (USP, EP, JP, etc.).

Balanced Viscosity

Its viscosity profile (nominal 32 cSt) allows it to form a consistent lubricating barrier while remaining easy to pump, spread, and process in industrial setups.

Applications & Fields of Use

Cosmetics

Used as a moisturizer and emollient. It creates a protective lipid barrier in creams, lotions, and color cosmetics to prevent cutaneous dehydration.

Pharmaceuticals

Acts as a key base for oral laxatives and topical therapeutic ointments. Manufactured to comply strictly with pharmaceutical purity benchmarks.

Food Processing

Utilized as a safe lubricant on food contact surfaces and as a protective gloss or release agent in select food manufacturing operations.

Industrial Lubrication

Employed as a base oil in hydraulic fluids and technical lubricants. Its balanced viscosity characteristics make it ideal across varied industrial machinery.

Textile

Used as a processing lubricant to minimize friction and boost yarn workability in spinning and weaving. Its medium viscosity delivers optimum operational efficiency on textile equipment.
