Mineral oil History

    In the late 1800s, the term " Mineral oil (CAS NO.8012-95-1)" or "rock oil" was first used to describe the petroleum hydrocarbons and associated products that were produced from wells that tapped underground reservoirs. The term"mineral oil" differentiated petroleum hydrocarbons produced from underground sources from other common oil sources at the time, such as whale oil or palm oil .
    In today's petroleum E&P(exploration and production) business, "mineral oil" is most often used in legal documents to define and encompass all of the liquid hydrocarbon and gaseous products produced from wells drilled into underground petroleum-bearing reservoirs.

Mineral oil Specification

The Mineral oil with CAS registry number of 8012-95-1 is also called Paraffin oils. Its EINECS registry number is 232-384-2. It is a kind of clear colorless oil,Practically tasteless and odorless, even when warmed. This chemical is belongs to the classes of Lipids and Related ProductsPharmacopoeia (USP); Research Essentials; IR Spectroscopy; IR Spectroscopy Solvents; Spectroscopy.It is liquid hydrocarbons from petroleum.

Preparation and Uses of Mineral oil:
It can be prepared by fossil oil. And it has been pressed into service in a wide variety of capacities due to the low price and ubiquitous supply. In addition, it is also used as a suspending and levigating agent in sulphur-based ointments. And it can be used in livestock vaccines, as an adjuvant to stimulate a cell-mediated immune response to the vaccinating agent. Moreover, used in a variety of industrial/mechanical capacities as a non-conductive coolant in electric components as it does not conduct electricity or thermal fluid, while simultaneously functioning to displace air and water. It is also used on cooking utensils or to grease cookware and bakeware to prevent food from sticking.
