White Oil

mineral oils are colourless, odourless mixtures of saturated liquid hydrocarbons obtained from the distillation of petroleum. Our mineral oils are paraffinic in nature and we offer a wide range for viscosities for varied applications.

introduction to px grade oils:

•  our unimin range of cosmetic / pharmaceutical grade mineral oils are highly refined, and tailor made for skin-care and hair-care formulations.
•  these products are treated for harmful polycyclic aromatic impurities and they pass the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon test along with other purity norms in the pharmacopoeia and comply with all the regulatory requirements as per the european commission and usfda.
•  they do not support pathogenic bacterial growth and due to this property, they become ideal blending bases for pharmaceutical / cosmetic applications.
•  having total pharmacopoeial compliance, this bp / usp grade material is widely used by formulators exporting to africa, usa and regulatory markets in europe.
•  our complete range of unioil mineral oils complying to japanese, indian and european pharmacopoeia are also available

characteristics of px grade oils

•  bright, clear, colourless, tasteless, non-fluorescent liquid
•  stable to light and oxidation.
• high a flash point
• soluble in chloroform, solvent ether and volatiles oils.
• insoluble in water and alcohol
• miscible with most fixed oils and hydrocarbons.
• very low aromatic, sulphur and nitrogen content and free from oxygen and halogen derivatives thus having a low impurity profile
