Mineral oil CAS#8042-47-5

Basic Information

Mineral oil
colorless, transparent liquid

Mineral oil, also called white oil, is a clear, nearly odorless liquid with low volatility and negligible water solubility. It is generally stable under ordinary conditions and dissolves in selected organic solvents. Applications include lubrication, heat transfer, electrical insulation and protective coatings for metal surfaces. Laboratory uses include culture-medium overlays and suspension media, while appropriately selected grades serve cosmetic formulation purposes.

product description

High Purity and Clean Appearance:Industrial-grade purity of ≥99% with a colorless, transparent and almost odorless profile ensures suitability for sensitive industrial and cosmetic-related applications.


Wide Thermal Operating Range:Low melting point (-15 °C) and high boiling range (300–500 °C) provide excellent performance stability across a broad temperature range.


Low Volatility and Safe Handling:Extremely low vapor pressure at 25 °C (0.0001 hPa) minimizes evaporation and inhalation risk, improving workplace safety and storage stability.


Excellent Chemical Stability and Compatibility:Insoluble in water and stable under normal conditions, with good solubility in common organic solvents, making it reliable for lubrication, formulation, and processing uses.


Product Description of Mineral Oil (CAS No. 8042-47-5)

High-purity industrial mineral oil (white oil), with a minimum content of 99%, is a colorless, transparent liquid with almost no odor and excellent chemical stability. It has a melting point of approximately −15 °C and a broad boiling range of 300–500 °C, making it suitable for use over a wide temperature range. At 25 °C, it has an extremely low vapor pressure of 0.0001 hPa and a relative density of 0.85 at 20 °C. Insoluble in water, readily soluble in ether and chloroform, and slightly soluble in ethanol. Stable under normal conditions; avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents.


Product Application of Mineral Oil (CAS No. 8042-47-5)

High-purity mineral oil (white oil) is a versatile industrial and laboratory chemical with multiple critical applications. It serves as a protective overlay for culture media in petri dish experiments and is a key ingredient in baby lotions, cold creams, ointments and cosmetics. In electrical and mechanical fields, it functions as thermal transfer fluid, non-conductive cooling medium, transformer oil, cutting blade anti-rust coating and high-voltage switchgear insulator. It is also used for storing reactive metals like lithium and sodium, and as a suspension medium in X-ray crystallography.
