Petroleum Jelly CAS 8009-03-8

Petroleum Jelly is supplied as a semi-solid base material derived from petroleum refining, widely used in formulations requiring occlusive, lubricating, or protective properties. It is not a single pure compound but a refined mixture of hydrocarbons with controlled consistency and stability.

In industrial and formulation use, Petroleum Jelly is applied in personal care products, pharmaceutical ointment bases, polishes, rust protection compounds, and general-purpose lubricating systems. It is typically supplied in semi-solid form with different consistency grades depending on processing requirements. Standard packaging, bulk supply, and documentation such as COA, TDS, and SDS are available to support formulation and procurement needs.
