Petroleum Jelly

It forms an occlusive film that reduces transepidermal water loss, gives body and cling to anhydrous formulations, carries oil-soluble ingredients, and provides a soft protective layer on surfaces. In industrial use it protects metal surfaces and lubricates lightly loaded assemblies. Suitability for a specific claim or product type is a formulation and regulatory question for your own product.

The intended use decides the grade: a lip or ointment base needs different refining and documentation from an industrial protective film. State the application, the melting and consistency behaviour your process needs, the colour expectation, the documentation your sector requires and the filling temperature your line runs at. Pharmacopoeial or cosmetic declarations are confirmed for the exact grade offered.

White petrolatum and petrolatum are alternative names for this same material, not separate products. Mineral oil is the liquid hydrocarbon fraction and has its own canonical page; microcrystalline and paraffin waxes are solid waxes, not ointment bases. White, yellow, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and industrial presentations, drop-point and consistency ranges, and packaging formats are grade dimensions handled inside this record and never published as separate pages.

Suppliers report active content, solution strength, particle presentation and impurity limits in different conventions, and the numbers are not interchangeable between them. State the convention your specification uses along with the property window you actually need, and comparison is made like for like against producer data for the grade offered.

This page asserts no purity, assay, active content, concentration, moisture, pH, density, dosage rate, performance figure, approval, registration, certification, origin, packing, minimum quantity, availability, lead time or price. Every commercially meaningful value is taken from producer documentation for the exact grade offered and confirmed in writing before order.

Allzone sources this material through producer channels and quotes it per enquiry. Origin, production route and shipping point are selected against your technical requirement, quantity, documentation need and destination, and are stated in the offer rather than fixed by this page. Freight, discharge point and packaging format move landed cost, so quotations are compared delivered to your plant.

Technical data sheet, safety data sheet and certificate of analysis for the exact grade offered are requested from the producer and shared with the quotation. Handling, storage, incompatibility and personal-protection requirements are treated as SDS questions for the specific grade rather than figures published here. Where a declaration matters to your application — food contact, cosmetic, potable water, feed or regulatory — it is confirmed for that grade and intended use rather than assumed from this page.

Send the process it goes into, the function you need it to perform, the property window your specification calls for in your own convention, the annual and per-shipment quantity, the packaging format your intake can receive, the documentation required per shipment and the delivery province or port. Several materials can be listed in one enquiry and reviewed together rather than split into separate requests.
