Mineral Oil [55 Gal]

Mineral oils are among the most versatile petroleum products and because of their extreme purity these oils may be employed where only highly refined products are suitable— from pharmaceuticals to cosmetics to plastics to food processing.

Mineral Oils are colorless, odorless, and tasteless mixtures of saturated paraffinic and naphthenic hydrocarbons. Our Mineral oils are chemically and biologically stable, non-comedogenic, and do not support pathogenic bacterial growth. They contain Vitamin E, a natural antioxidant, to protect quality during handling and storage.

These properties make Mineral oils the standard in applications that involve direct food contact, prolonged contact with human skin, the need for minimal odor and staining, and the need for outstanding stability.
