White oil refers to the highly refined mineral oil that is obtained as a by-product in the production of sulfonates. Also known as paraffinum perliquidum or liquid paraffin, it is formed when paraffinic or naphthenic base oils are treated with sulfuric acid. The process removes the natural oxidation inhibitors, nitrogen and sulfur impurities, and unsaturated, toxic, aromatic and color-forming compounds. White oil is colorless, odorless, stable, pure, non-toxic, and chemically inert in nature. It can also be produced from a wide variety of feedstocks, depending on processes such as the two-stage hydrotreating method.

White Oil Market Trends:

The global white oil market is primarily driven by its growing applications in various industries. In the medical and pharmaceutical industry, white oil is employed in the production of ointments, laxatives and as a carrier for curative drug formulations. In the food industry, the product is applied in egg, fruit and vegetable coatings, food-grade lubricants and greasers, and within food packing materials. White oil also plays an essential role in producing plastics and elastomers, polystyrene internal lubricants, PVC external lubricants, plastic annealing, and catalyst carriers. Furthermore, white oil offers lubricity, the ability to prevent moisture, and chemical inertness. Due to these properties, it is utilized in the cosmetics industry to manufacture topical skincare products, such as body lotions, petroleum jelly, moisturizers, cold creams, hair care products and baby oil. Besides this, manufacturers are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to introduce cost-efficient products.
