Usage/Application | Industrial |
Automotive applications dominate, but other industrial, marine, and metal working applications are also big consumers of lubricants. Although air and other gas-based lubricants are known, e.g., in fluid bearings, liquid and solid lubricants dominate the market, especially the former.
Lubricants are generally composed of a majority of base oil plus a variety of additives to impart desirable characteristics. Although generally lubricants are based on one type of base oil, mixtures of the base oils also are used to meet performance requirements.
The lubricant base oil is generally classified into three categories depending on the prevailing compositions:

Packaging Size | barrels |
Country of Origin | Made in India |
White Mineral Oils are extensively used as bases for pharmaceuticals and personal care products. The inertness of the product offers properties such as good lubricity, smoothness and softness and resistance to moisture in the formulations.
The products are also used in the Polymer processing and plastic industry such as polystyrene, polyolefin and thermoplastic elastomers. The oil controls the melt flow behaviour of the finished polymer besides providing release properties. Very often the oils also impart improvement in physical characteristics of the finished product.
Food grade Mineral Oils can be used for direct food contact applications such as dough divider & dust suppression in grain silos. These oils can also be used for lubricating food handling equipments and impregnating food packaging & wrapping papers.
Products OfferedWe offers two grades of White Mineral Oils.
1 grades comply with the requirements as stipulated under NF/USP, British Pharmacopoeia, European Pharmacopoeia and Indian Pharmacopoeia standards. 1 grades can be used for direct food contact applications such as dough divider, release agents, protective coatings & dust suppression in grain silos. These Oils can also be used for lubricating food handling equipments and impregnating food packaging & wrapping papers. These grades find extensive application in manufacture of cosmetic products such as creams and lotions etc.
2 grades represent the Technical White Oils with slightly different test requirements and are developed for applications in polymers, plastic industries and animal feeds besides certain non-critical applications in packaging and food machinery lubrication where minimal food contact is expected.
Grades are available in all viscosity grades starting from 8 cSt @ 40 deg C to 100 cSt @ 40 deg C and with pour points ranging from -5 to -30 deg C.
Grades are certified to be complying with the requirements laid down under US FDA regulations CFR 172.878 governing the direct food additives permitted in food for human consumption and CFR 178.3620 (a) governing the food additives resulting from contact with handling equipments and packages. These grades also meet the specifications as laid out under NF/USP, British Pharmacopoeia, European Pharmacopoeia and Indian Pharmacopoeia standards. The products are processed and packaged as per GMP norms to make them suitable for direct and indirect food contact applications.
Grades are certified to be complying with US FDA regulations CFR 178.3620 (b) and CFR 121.2589 (b). These grades are extensively used in polymer and plastic industries and are tailored with respect to boiling point distribution and viscosity characteristics. The characteristics of the oil impart good plasticization effect on the finished product while ensuring retention of oil within the polymer.
