Mineral Oil-Heavy Liquid Paraffin 5L

Heavy Liquid Paraffin �� Mineral Oil 68C 5L

Mineral Oil (Heavy Liquid Paraffin) is a highly refined petroleum derivative used as a laxative, lubricant, cosmetic base, emollient, and industrial fluid, prized for creating barriers, moisturising skin, lubricating machinery, and as a release agent in plastics, but prolonged ingestion isn��t recommended due to potential vitamin absorption issues.

Medical & Pharmaceutical Uses
Laxative: Acts as a gastrointestinal lubricant, softening stools and easing constipation, especially in chronic cases.
Ointment Base: Forms a base for healing creams, ointments, and nasal sprays.
Protective Coating: Used in some vaccines and as a coating for fruits/vegetables.

Cosmetics & Personal Care
Moisturizer: Creates a barrier to lock in skin moisture (baby oil, lotions, creams).
Hair Products: Adds shine and smoothness to hair oils and styling products.
Makeup Remover: Helps dissolve makeup.

Industrial & Other Applications
Lubricant: Lubricates machinery, from large industrial equipment to smaller parts.
Plasticizer/Release Agent: Helps in molding plastics and rubber.
Electrical Fluid: Used as an insulator and coolant in electrical transformers.
Food Grade: Used as a protective coating for certain foods.

Important Considerations
Heavy vs. Light: Heavy liquid paraffin is often for industrial/lubrication, while light is common in cosmetics/laxatives, but both are refined forms.
Ingestion: While used as a laxative, regular or excessive consumption can interfere with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K).
