About Heavy Liquid Paraffin IP Grade

Heavy Liquid Paraffin IP Grade is a highly refined, purified, colorless, odorless, and transparent mineral oil manufactured in compliance with Indian Pharmacopoeia (IP) standards. It is produced through advanced refining and hydrogenation processes to ensure excellent purity, stability, and safety for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, personal care, food-contact, and industrial applications.

This grade of liquid paraffin is chemically inert, non-toxic, non-irritating, and free from harmful aromatic compounds, sulfur, and impurities. Due to its superior lubricating, moisturizing, protective, and emollient properties, Heavy Liquid Paraffin IP Grade is widely used in formulations requiring high purity and excellent stability.

It offers exceptional oxidation resistance, smooth texture, water repellency, and compatibility with a wide range of ingredients, making it suitable for pharmaceutical preparations, creams, lotions, ointments, laxatives, cosmetics, veterinary products, and specialty industrial uses.
