INTRODUCTION: Petroleum Jelly is a mixture of liquid saturated hydrocarbons, petroleum in nature & derived after selective treatment & blending of refined waxes & highly refined hydro- refined base oils. The Whiter grades are super white, highly refined translucent, odourless, when cold & rubbed on skin & tasteless. The Yellow grades are pale yellow to dark yellow in colour, slightly fluorescent in daylight when melted, practically insoluble in water & alcohol & have its characteristic petroleum odour. These are unctuous to touch & retain their character, while exhibiting very good lubricity properties & chemical resistance.
APPLICATION: Regular Grade Snow White Petroleum Jelly finds varied applications in ointments, pain balms, capsules, cosmetic creams & lotions, as a vehicle (Ointment Base) in ointments & skin creams in pharmaceutical & cosmetic industry. Technical grade Jellies find applications in Printing Inks manufacturing, Defence Applications in fire arms lubrications, as a softener/ extender in Rubber/ Plastic Industry, Lubrication of Battery Terminals, Rust Preventives, Furniture Polishes & Coatings, Carbon Paper & Stationery Products & as a general purpose lubricant in Industry.
