Mineral oil is a highly versatile, colorless, and odorless substance used across multiple industries for its lubricating, moisturizing, and protective properties. In the food and beverage industry, it is used as a release agent, anti-dust coating, and food-grade lubricant, while in animal feed, it aids in digestion and reduces dust in feed mixes. In cleaning and sanitation, paint and coatings, and construction, mineral oil acts as a solvent, carrier, or mold release agent. In the oil & gas, plastic & rubber industries, it functions as a processing aid and stabilizer. Additionally, in personal care, health & beauty, fragrance, and pharmaceuticals, mineral oil is widely used in lotions, creams, ointments, and oral formulations for its skin-soothing, moisturizing, and emollient qualities.
