Frequently Asked Questions
What is light liquid paraffin used for?
Light liquid paraffin (LLP) is an IP-grade white mineral oil used as a base in pharmaceutical and personal-care formulations — ointments, creams, lotions and hair oils — and in light lubricant duties where a highly refined, non-hazardous mineral oil is specified. The heavy grade (HLP) serves the same industries where a more viscous oil is required.
What is the difference between light and heavy liquid paraffin?
Both are IP-grade mineral oils; the grades differ in viscosity and density. Light liquid paraffin (LLP) has a dynamic viscosity of 25.0 mPa·s max at 20 °C and a weight per mL of 0.827–0.890 g/mL, while heavy liquid paraffin (HLP) runs 64.0 mPa·s min and 0.845–0.905 g/mL. Pick light where a thinner, more mobile oil is needed and heavy where the specification calls for a more viscous oil.
What do LLP and HLP stand for in chemicals?
LLP is Light Liquid Paraffin and HLP is Heavy Liquid Paraffin — both are pharmacopoeial-grade (IP) white mineral oils. Both are classified under HSN code 2710 19 90.
What is the CAS number of liquid paraffin?
The IP-grade material we stock carries CAS 8042-47-5 on its technical data sheet, while liquid paraffin (mineral oil) is also widely catalogued under CAS 8012-95-1. The TDS we supply with the product carries the controlling identifier for your documentation.
Is your liquid paraffin IP / pharmacopoeial grade?
Yes. Our light and heavy liquid paraffin is IP / Pharmacopoeial Grade, manufactured by Raj Petro Specialities Pvt. Ltd. — A Member of the Shell Group — at Manali, Chennai (Drug Mfg. Lic. No. 136/2000); we distribute it from stock. It tests to the manufacturer's published IP specification: bright and clear liquid, neutral acidity/alkalinity, light absorption 0.10 max at 240–280 nm, and passes the IP tests for readily carbonisable substances, solid paraffin and sulphur compounds.
Where can I buy light or heavy liquid paraffin in Chennai?
We hold both grades as ready stock at our Redhills, Chennai warehouse and dispatch across South India. Standard packaging is 210 L HDPE drums; order sizes depend on packaging and current stock. Call or WhatsApp +91 86087 80096 for a quote.
