Liquid Paraffin Industrial
Liquid Paraffin Industrial, is extracted from oil derivatives and using in some industries as lubricant.
It is white or a little yellowish, flash point more than 180 degrees centigrade, pour point +3 to -6 and density by 0.850
Liquid Paraffin industrial applications
It is mainly used as a lubricant in various industrial environments. This compound can be used to lubricate blades that cut paper. Paraffin oil is also a very important component of air filters, especially air filters that work underwater. Paraffin liquid industrial grade can also be used as a hydraulic fluid in machinery. The use of liquid paraffin in the textile industry is mostly for lubricating machines.
This compound is one of the main components of the oil used for spinning, weaving and creating mesh. The oil used to lubricate sewing machines usually also contains liquid paraffin. It can clean your hands after working with abrasive materials such as cement.
This oil useful in many other areas. For example, it is an essential ingredient in many agricultural insecticides. It is a precursor to the production and inhibition of reactive gases such as sulfur dioxide and chlorine. It is often used in infrared spectroscopy. It can be applied to baking pans to make it easier to remove baked-on food residue.
Liquid Paraffin Industrial Export Destinations
Industrial liquid paraffin export from Iran serves a range of industries, including textile manufacturing, plastics processing, lubricants, chemical production, and industrial formulations. Depending on its viscosity, purity, and technical specifications, Iranian industrial liquid paraffin can be suitable for buyers in Turkey, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, India, Pakistan, and selected African markets, where industrial development and manufacturing activities generate demand for petroleum-derived oils.
Liquid paraffin is used in applications such as machinery lubrication, textile processing, plastic and rubber manufacturing, and as a component in certain industrial formulations. Export buyers typically evaluate viscosity, color, odor, flash point, density, and compliance with the technical requirements of their intended application.
As an Iranian supplier sourcing destination, Iran Chemical Mine helps international buyers explore liquid paraffin industrial supply opportunities, product specifications, bulk purchasing options, and export arrangements tailored to their market requirements.
Industrial Liquid Paraffin vs. Other Liquid Paraffin Types
Industrial liquid paraffin differs from cosmetic-grade and pharmaceutical-grade liquid paraffin primarily in its intended application, purity requirements, and applicable quality standards.
Industrial liquid paraffin is generally selected for technical and manufacturing purposes where consistent viscosity and performance are essential, while cosmetic-grade liquid paraffin is used in skincare products, creams, and personal-care formulations, and pharmaceutical-grade liquid paraffin must meet the relevant pharmacopeial requirements for its intended medicinal use.
Food-grade mineral oil, where applicable, must meet specific food-contact or food-use requirements. These grades should not be considered interchangeable without confirming their specifications and regulatory suitability. Iran Chemical Mine can help buyers identify suitable liquid paraffin products according to their industrial needs, target market, and required technical documentation.
Comparison table: Industrial vs. other liquid paraffin grades
| Feature | Industrial Grade | Cosmetic Grade | Pharmaceutical Grade | Food-Grade Mineral Oil |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Main applications | Industrial processing, lubrication, textiles | Skincare, creams, personal care | Approved pharmaceutical applications | Approved food-related applications |
| Purity requirements | Based on intended industrial use | Cosmetic safety and quality requirements | Relevant pharmacopeial standards | Applicable food-grade regulations |
| Viscosity | Varies by application | Selected for formulation requirements | Defined by product specification | Varies by approved application |
| Odor and color | Depends on specification | Typically low odor and suitable appearance | Must comply with relevant standards | Must comply with applicable requirements |
| Key purchasing criteria | Viscosity, flash point, compatibility, consistency | Purity, skin compatibility, formulation performance | Pharmacopeial compliance and documentation | Regulatory compliance and approved use |
| Interchangeability | Not automatically suitable for personal or medicinal use | Not automatically suitable for pharmaceutical use | Not automatically suitable for food use | Only for permitted applications |
Packing
Paraffin oil industrial normally packed in 220 liter steel or poly ethylene drums. Also, handling in bulk oil tankers is possible. Taking care about clean drums or tankers should be considered.
