What is White Liquid Paraffin?
White Liquid Paraffin (White Mineral Oil) is a type of refined, colorless mineral oil obtained from the distillation and precise refining of heavy petroleum cuts. This substance, which belongs to the family of saturated hydrocarbons, is
widely used especially in sensitive industries such as hygiene, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and even veterinary due to its stable physical properties, high purity, and non-toxicity.
In the production process of this paraffin, aromatic substances and impurities are removed using methods such as hydrogenation and acid washing to ensure the final product is chemically stable, odorless, colorless, and tasteless.
Technical Specifications of White Liquid Paraffin
The technical features of white liquid paraffin may vary depending on its grade and application, but generally include the following:
• Appearance: Clear, colorless, odorless, and tasteless liquid
• Flash Point: Around 200°C
• Viscosity: Ranges from 10 to 100 cSt at 40°C
• Specific Gravity: 0.83 to 0.88 g/cm³
• Sulfur Content: Very low or zero (in pharmaceutical and hygienic grades)
• Oxidative Stability: High
• Refractive Index: Around 1.47
• Solubility: Insoluble in water; soluble in ether and some organic solvents

Flash Point of White Liquid Paraffin: Why Is It Important?
The flash point of white liquid paraffin is one of the key safety indicators in its storage and transportation. This value is usually around 200°C. A high flash point indicates thermal stability and high safety against sudden ignition. This
feature makes it a suitable choice for sensitive high-temperature applications.
