WHITE OILS OVERVIEW
White
oils are highly refined mineral oils
that consist of saturated aliphatic
and alicyclic nonpolar hydrocarbons.
They are hydrophobic, colorless,
tasteless, odorless, and do not change
color over time. Our white oils are
chemically and biologically stable,
non-comedogenic, and do not support
pathogenic bacterial growth. These
properties make white oils the standard
in many industries.
APPLICATIONS
White oils make an ideal
blending base for personal care and
pharmaceutical products. Their inert
nature makes them easy to work with,
as they lubricate, smooth, soften,
extend, and resist moisture in many
formulations. You can find our white
oils in products ranging from baby
oils and lotions to sunscreens, tissues,
and antibiotics.
The plastics industry
uses our Hydrobrite® line
of low-volatility white oils in
the production of polystyrene, polyolefins,
thermoplastic elastomers, and various
other polymers to improve and control
the melt flow rate of the finished
polymer.
Our oils have proven themselves in
food applications as wide-ranging as
dough divider oils to dust suppression
in grain silos. They lubricate food-handling
equipment, impregnate wrapping paper
to keep foods crisp, control foam in
beet sugar and vinegar production,
and enhance the leather tanning process.
And our low pour-point naphthenic grades
improve hot melt adhesives and lubricate
air conditioner and refrigerator compressors.
PRODUCTS
Sonneborn supplies pharmaceutical
and technical white oil grades and
will custom-blend to meet customer
specifications. Our white oils, (light)
liquid paraffins, meet the purity requirements
of the European (EuP), United States
(USP) and Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP).
Moreover they are in compliance with
the purity requirements of former monographs
of the BP, DAB or French Codex. In
addition our white oils meet FDA 21
CFR 172.878 and 21 CFR 178.3620(a)
regulations for direct food contact,
and USDA H1 food processing lubricant
standards. Our white mineral oil grades
have viscosities that range from 3
cSt to 240 cSt, and pour points as
low as -21°C for our naphthenic
grades.
