Industrial Petroleum Jelly

Description

Industrial Petroleum Jelly | Technical & Process Grade Vaseline

Product Overview Industrial Petroleum Jelly, commonly known in international markets as Petroleum Jelly (Technical Grade) or Industrial Vaseline, is a semi-solid petroleum-derived product obtained during the refining of mineral oils.

Unlike pharmaceutical or cosmetic grades, industrial petroleum jelly is specifically formulated for technical, mechanical, and manufacturing applications. It offers excellent lubricating, sealing, moisture-resistant, and protective properties, making it widely used across various heavy and light industries worldwide.

Technical Description of Industrial Petroleum Jelly

Industrial Petroleum Jelly appears as a translucent to opaque semi-solid material, typically ranging in color from light yellow to amber, depending on the grade and refining level. It is insoluble in water, chemically stable, and compatible with most petroleum-based materials. Its controlled consistency and melting behavior allow it to function effectively as a lubricant, protective coating, release agent, and moisture barrier in industrial environments.

Grades of Industrial Petroleum Jelly

Industrial Petroleum Jelly is supplied in multiple grades, classified mainly by penetration, melting point, and level of refinement. Light Industrial Grade features a softer texture and lower melting point.

This grade is suitable for applications where easy spreadability and low-temperature performance are required, such as light lubrication and assembly operations. Standard Industrial Grade is the most commonly used grade in global markets.

It offers balanced consistency, stable performance, and broad compatibility, making it ideal for general industrial lubrication, cable filling, rubber processing, and protective coatings. Heavy Industrial Grade has a firmer structure and higher melting point, providing enhanced sealing and protective performance. This grade is preferred in applications involving higher operating temperatures or where long-lasting protection against moisture and corrosion is required.

Industrial Applications

Industrial Petroleum Jelly is widely used in rubber and tire manufacturing, where it acts as a processing aid and mold release agent. In the cable industry, it is applied as a filling and moisture-blocking compound. It is also utilized for metal protection, corrosion prevention, gasket lubrication, valve assembly, and as a base material in certain industrial greases and compounds.

Performance Advantages of Industrial Petroleum Jelly

Industrial Petroleum Jelly provides reliable lubrication, excellent water resistance, and long-term protection against oxidation and corrosion. Its cost efficiency, long shelf life, and stable chemical structure make it a preferred solution for industrial and manufacturing operations.

Packaging and Supply of Industrial Petroleum Jelly

This product is available in drums, cartons, and bulk packaging. Lubesta supplies export-grade Industrial Petroleum Jelly with consistent specifications.
