MINERAL OIL:
Mineral oil is a generic term used to group several petroleum derived liquids with oil-like viscosity manufactured by atmospheric and vacuum distillation of crude oil and then further refined. Unrefined crude oil is not safe to be used in the formulation of products in contact with the human body or in food related applications. Mineral oils are hence safe to be used as components in cosmetic and food related products.
Mineral oil also has many industrial uses, such as engine oils, gear oils, brake fluids, metalworking fluids, hydraulic fluids, printing inks, agricultural spray oils, and many others.
A wide range of modern vehicles are designed to be serviced with mineral oils - these vehicles will stay powerful and well protected thanks to properties of the mineral oils.
