White oil from ADDINOL

The white oils from ADDINOL are carefully refined mineral oils that meet the highest demands. White oils consist only of refined paraffin oil. They do not require composition of base oils and additives as for instance engine oils. Paraffin oil is extracted from crude oil and partly refined several times (filtered/cleaned) until all unwanted residues or ingredients have been removed from the liquid. Only then can it be processed into white oil. Convince yourself of our quality.

Properties of white oil

The white oils have important properties such as:

  • Odourless and tasteless due to the absence of aromatic hydrocarbons
  • Colourless and colour stable
  • Stable against environmental influences
  • Stability against oxidation
  • Excellent corrosion protection
  • Water displacing creep properties
  • No gumming

White oils are insensitive to light and oxygen. As a result, the oils do not decompose into their constituents and form a sticky mass. Therefore, this process of gumming cannot occur with white oils.

Application areas for white oil

White oils from ADDINOL can be used in different areas. Due to their neutrality in terms of smell and taste as well as the non-toxicity of the oils, they can be used in medicine, pharmacy and the food industry. But their properties also allow applications in garden, hobby and leisure.

Technical white oil

White oils are divided into technical and medical white oils. Technical white oils are mostly simply hydrogenated and still contain aromatic hydrocarbons. Technical white oils are therefore suitable for applications such as weapon oil or furniture polish, but not for handling living creatures or food. ADDINOL white oils exceed the requirements for technical white oils and can therefore be used as medical white oils.

Medical white oil

With medicinal white oil, the paraffin oil is refined until all aromatics and sulphur compounds have been removed from the oil and it is completely pure. Any toxins are removed from the oil. This makes it safe to use in contact with humans, animals and food. Medical white oils are therefore used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries.
