What is Mineral Oil CAS 8042-47-5?

Mineral Oil CAS 8042-47-5, also known as liquid paraffin or white oil, is a highly refined petroleum byproduct composed mainly of saturated hydrocarbons. It is produced through the distillation and refining of crude oil, resulting in a stable, non-reactive substance. Widely used across industries, it is valued for its versatility, safety in certain applications, and low cost. Mineral oil is available in various grades, including food-grade and industrial-grade, depending on its purity and intended use.
