Description
1) A colorless, aliphatic hydrocarbon oil obtained from petroleum distilled at 330-360C. Mineral oil, or liquid petrolatum, is normally divided into two fractions: light mineral oil (density 0.83-0.88) and heavy mineral oil (density 0.86-0.91). Mineral oil is used as a lubricants for textile processing. It was also used in a much touted formulation ( Phoebus) for the removal of bloom on varnished oil paintings. This practice, however, is not recommended. Mineral oil is chemically inactive and is unlikely to damage aged Linseed oil films; however, once it is placed on a painting, the mineral oil will be virtually impossible to completely remove.
2) The term 'mineral oil' was originally used as a synonym for
Petroleum.
Synonyms and Related Terms
