What is Petroleum Jelly CAS 8009-03-8?

It is a semi-solid, refined mixture of saturated hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum, also known as petrolatum. It is used for its occlusive, lubricating, emollient, and protective properties in personal care, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.

Is Petroleum Jelly a single chemical compound?

No. Petroleum Jelly is a mixture of liquid and solid hydrocarbon components rather than one defined molecule. This is why it is described by CAS 8009-03-8 as a petrolatum product rather than a simple molecular formula.

What are the main uses of Petroleum Jelly?

It is used as a base for ointments and creams, an emollient and occlusive agent in cosmetics, and a protective or lubricating material in industrial maintenance products, polishes, and rust-preventive coatings.

How should Petroleum Jelly be stored?

Keep it in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid excessive heat, which can change the semi-solid consistency, and maintain packaging integrity to prevent contamination during storage and transport.
