Machinery plays an enormous role in manufacturing. Without machines, many industries would struggle to meet production demands and would shut down. Businesses ensure their machinery is efficient through white oil lubricants and other substances. This blog will explore the definition of white oil and products that Ecolink has to offer.
What Is White Oil?
White oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons that are made from petroleum. There are several different names for the mixture can be used interchangeably, such as mineral oil, paraffin oil, liquid paraffin, paraffin pellucidum, and liquid petroleum. Mineral oil is a heavily refined tasteless solution in multiple products. Some products that utilize petroleum include:
- Pharmaceuticals
- Cosmetics such as creams and lotions
- Food packing materials
- Plastics
- Elastomers
- Lubricants
- Brake fluid
- Adhesives
- Anti-rust agents for blades
- Coatings
Lubricant manufacturers often refer to mineral oil used in their products as base oil. Base oil typically serves as the main ingredient of lubricants, and it can determine the properties of the finished product.
Four Types of White Oil That Ecolink Sells
Ecolink supplies four grades of liquid petroleum for customers to choose from. The four mineral oil products are:
The four products listed above are essentially the same, but the main difference between the four is their viscosity or thickness. The higher the number in the product name, the thicker the oil. Various industries will require the use of different viscosities in their products. Our specific liquid petroleum contains vitamin E, which is a natural antioxidant. Antioxidants can protect the cells in the body from radicals, or molecules produced when breaking down food. These radicals can also be obtained from being exposed to radiation or tobacco smoke.
