Heavy liquid paraffin oil is a colourless to light yellowish viscous liquid. At Gandhar Oil, under our flagship brand name Divyol, we manufacture heavy paraffin oils produced from highly refined hydro-cracked / hydro-treated base oil with a high degree of purity to meet IP / BP / USP standards. They have excellent oxidation / UV stability and are suitable for application in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food industries for direct and indirect food contact.
Some of the liquid paraffin heavy uses are:
As gas turbine fuel and diesel fuel turbine
In propulsion systems and equipment
In medical fields (i.e., deep tissue therapies like ultrasound massage)
In agriculture (i.e., as a pesticide).
Due to its high viscosity, it is also used as a draining lubricant for various parts and tools, which makes them last much longer than other fluids like grease or grease-based compounds.
Heavy paraffin is also increasingly gaining popularity in the homoeopathic treatment of various diseases. It is a safe, inexpensive, and highly effective laxative used to treat a long list of diseases without any side effects or reactions.
Heavy paraffin oil is also used in manufacturing as a packaging medium, as vapour phase drying solvents, and in thinning thick paints.
