Pharmaceutical white oils
Our pure, crystal clear pharmaceutical white oils, paraffinum subliquidum and perliquidum, meet the latest international Pharmacopoeia standards; amongst others, the Ph. Eur., USP and JP. Furthermore, they are in conformity with the national purity standards of the BP, DAB and the French Codex. Our white pharmaceutical oils also meet the FDA 21 CFR 172.878 directive and 21 CFR 178.3620(a) for the direct contact with foods and USDA H1, the standard for lubricants in the food industry.
In that we only work with pure high-grade base materials, we amply exceed the set requirements with our products. Our pharmaceutical white oils are during the purification process stripped from all foreign materials, such as aromatics and other unsaturated hydrocarbon compounds and are through this very suitable for the most finest applications by our clients.
