Mineral Oil is a highly refined mixture of liquid saturated hydrocarbons derived from petroleum. Depending on its grade and level of refining, Mineral Oil is used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, personal-care, nutraceutical and industrial formulations.
Pharmaceutical-grade Mineral Oil is valued for its chemical stability, lubricity, emollient properties, moisture-barrier characteristics and formulation compatibility.
Swapnroop Pharma manufactures and supplies Mineral Oil in India for qualified pharmaceutical, cosmetic, personal-care and formulation applications. Different grades can be supplied according to viscosity, refining level, purity, hydrocarbon profile and applicable quality standards.
Pharmaceutical-grade Mineral Oil can serve several formulation functions, including:
It can be incorporated into selected topical, oral and specialty formulations, depending on the grade and intended use.
Mineral Oil is used in pharmaceutical formulations where its lubricating, protective and hydrophobic properties are beneficial.
Potential applications include:
The appropriate pharmaceutical grade should be selected based on the intended route of administration and applicable regulatory requirements.
Unlike a single defined chemical compound, Mineral Oil consists primarily of a mixture of highly refined saturated liquid hydrocarbons. Consequently, it does not have one fixed molecular formula or molecular weight.
Pharmaceutical Mineral Oil is generally supplied as a clear, colourless or nearly colourless oily liquid, with grades differing mainly in viscosity and hydrocarbon composition.
Mineral Oil grades are commonly differentiated as light mineral oil and heavy mineral oil, among other viscosity-based grades.
Swapnroop Pharma supplies pharmaceutical-grade Mineral Oil to pharmaceutical manufacturers, cosmetic companies, nutraceutical businesses and formulation developers.
Supply can be aligned with requirements for viscosity grade, refining level, purity, hydrocarbon profile, packaging, documentation and intended application.
Mineral Oil should be stored in tightly closed, compatible containers in a cool, dry and clean environment. It should be protected from contamination, excessive heat and direct sunlight.
Specific storage conditions should follow the applicable SDS, CoA, product specification and manufacturer's recommendations.
Depending on the selected grade and customer requirements, documentation may include:
Swapnroop Pharma supplies Mineral Oil for qualified pharmaceutical, topical, cosmetic, nutraceutical and specialty formulation applications in India and international markets.
