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 USP
and NF grade 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 USP,
NF, and technical white oil grades
and will custom-blend to meet customer
specifications. USP and NF grades
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 USP mineral
oil grades have viscosities that range
from 35cSt to 420cSt, and pour points
that range from -10°C to less than -35°C
for our naphthenic grades. Our NF light
mineral oil grades have lower viscosities,
ranging from 7cSt to 30cSt, and pour
points as low as -25°C for our
40 oil grain dust suppressor.
