Liquid Paraffin Pharma Grade Definition
Liquid Paraffin Pharma Grade is highly refined colorless & odorless paraffinic mineral oils. These are manufactured from high grade of paraffinic base oils. White Oils are biologically stable product with no tolerance level for pathogenic bacteria support. It is completely free from aromatic hydrocarbons and having high lubrication and insulation properties. Pharma Grade White Oil is used in pharmaceutical industry in manufacturing of formulation development. Liquid paraffin, as mineral oil, is commonly used to treat constipation. The advantage is that it acts as a stool lubricant and decreases the amount of water removed from stool, and the oil itself is not absorbed into the gastrointestinal system. However, it should only be used under a doctor’s supervision, as overuse can lead to deficiencies in vitamins E, D, A and K.
Liquid paraffin can be used to help treat cradle cap in infants. Cradle cap is a condition resulting in dry scaly skin, most commonly found on the head. When shampooing is not effective in removing the scaly skin, apply liquid paraffin to the scalp area and then wrap in warm cloths. Liquid paraffin can also be used to ease inflammation due to diaper rash or irritation due to eczema, and to soften hardened ear wax. Liquid paraffin has many uses in the medical field. Because liquid paraffin passes through the body’s intestinal tract without being absorbed, it can be used as a laxative to limit the amount of water removed from the stool and ease constipation. It is used in the penicillin production process and is also used in some eye lubricants. Liquid paraffin can be used to ease diaper rash and eczema irritation.
Liquid Paraffin Pharma Grade Applications
Pharmaceutical grade liquid paraffin, also known as mineral oil, has several applications in the pharmaceutical industry due to its purity and safety. Some common applications include:
- Laxatives: Mineral oil is sometimes used as a laxative to relieve constipation. It works by lubricating the intestines, making it easier for stool to pass through the digestive tract.
- Topical Treatments: It’s used in certain topical treatments for skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dry skin. Mineral oil helps to moisturize the skin and create a protective barrier against external irritants.
- Ear Drops: Mineral oil can be found in ear drops used to soften earwax and facilitate its removal. It helps to break down and loosen earwax, making it easier to remove through irrigation or other methods.
- Pharmaceutical Formulations: Mineral oil is sometimes used as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations to improve the consistency and stability of the product. It can be found in various oral medications, ointments, and creams.
- Veterinary Medicine: Mineral oil is also used in veterinary medicine for similar purposes, such as lubricating the digestive tract in animals or as a topical treatment for skin conditions.
Pre-washed and rigorously tested for ART procedures
Liquid Paraffin by ORIGIO is a high-quality, pharmaceutical-grade, light liquid paraffin oil that has been widely used in ART for many years.
ZUMRUT compani are the only supplier of Liquid Paraffin to test their oil products using Atomic Fingerprinting, a comprehensive method to quantitatively analyze the physicochemical properties of an oil using a combination of several techniques, including Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR), Gas Chromatography coupled with Flame Ionization Detection (GC-FID), and Kinematic Viscosity methods. This test provides quantitative molecular information on Liquid Paraffin.
To ensure a high-quality product documented for embryo culture, Liquid Paraffin is extensively tested for peroxide values, sterility, endotoxin level (< 0.1 EU/mL) and 1-cell extended Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA). Liquid Paraffin by ORIGIO is pre-washed with HSA-containing media to remove any Potential lipophilic and hydrophilic endotoxins.
Packing of Liquid Paraffin Pharma Grade
Liquid paraffin (white oil) medical grade is packed in new or second hand 180 kg drums, ISO tank, and flexi tanks. Each 20-foot container takes 110 drummed white oil industrial grade. Second-hand drums are not suggested to load white oil at all specially medical grade which is so sensitive to impurity and dirt
