PURITY™ FG WO White Mineral Oils

PURITY™ FG WO white mineral oils are ultra-pure, food-grade white mineral oils specially formulated for food processing and other industrial use where contact of the lubricant with food is only incidental.

Using the HT purity process, Petro-Canada produces 99.9% pure, crystal-clear white mineral oils – among the purest in the world. Blended with up to 10 ppm of Vitamin E as a stabilizer, PURITY™ FG WO white mineral oils are ideally suited for applications that require a straight, non-toxic white mineral oil.

PURITY™ FG WO white mineral oils may be safely used where a registered food grade or inert white mineral oil is required. General applications include incidental food contact in producing, manufacturing, processing, treating, or packaging.

White mineral oils are commonly used for:

• Rust and corrosion prevention for knives and cutting tables used in food preparation
• Release agents for molds and bakery pans
• Plasticizers
• Moisture-resistant coatings on food packaging
• Dust suppressants
• Cleaning stainless steel
• Shell egg protecting oil to retain freshness (15 grade only)

Note: Prior to the application (spraying) of the products in food handling areas, all food products should either be removed from the vicinity or otherwise protected from the spray.
