Frequently Asked Questions
What is Mineral Oil 90?
Mineral Oil 90 is a white mineral oil (CAS 8042-47-5), a highly refined, colorless and odorless petroleum-derived oil composed of saturated hydrocarbons. The 90 designates the approximate Saybolt viscosity grade. It is supplied as a lubricant/process oil, emollient, and carrier oil.
What does the 90 in Mineral Oil 90 mean?
The 90 refers to the approximate viscosity grade (Saybolt Universal Seconds) of the white oil, distinguishing it from lighter and heavier grades such as 70 or 200. Higher numbers indicate a heavier, more viscous oil; specify the grade that matches your application's viscosity target.
What is white mineral oil used for?
White mineral oil serves as a base and process oil for industrial lubricants, an emollient and carrier in cosmetics and personal-care products, and, in food-grade grades, as a lubricant and release agent for food-processing equipment. It also functions as a plasticizer and carrier fluid in formulations.
Is there a food-grade version of Mineral Oil 90?
White mineral oils are available in food-grade grades used as lubricants and release agents on food-processing equipment, as well as technical/industrial grades. Specify whether you need a food-grade qualification and request the CoA and SDS to confirm the grade supplied.
How is bulk Mineral Oil 90 packaged and ordered?
RawSource supplies white mineral oil in bulk industrial packaging including drums and totes/IBCs to lubricant, personal-care, and processing customers. Pricing depends on grade and volume, so submit a bulk quote with your target viscosity grade and quantity; a CoA and SDS accompany each shipment.
