1. Pharmaceuticals

• Laxatives: White mineral oil is a common ingredient in oral laxatives due to its lubricating properties that help soften stools and relieve constipation. 
• Topical Ointments and Creams: It acts as a base for ointments and creams, particularly those used for skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis.
• Lubricant in Pharmaceutical Processes: White mineral oil is used as a lubricant in various pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, such as in filling and packaging machines.

2. Personal care

• Moisturizer: White mineral oil acts as an emollient, creating a protective barrier on the skin that helps prevent moisture loss. This makes it a common ingredient in creams, lotions, and moisturizers for dry skin. 
• Lip Care: Its smooth, non-greasy texture makes it ideal for lip balms and other lip care products, providing hydration and a soft feel. 
• Baby Care: It's a key ingredient in baby oil, helping to moisturize and protect delicate baby skin.

3. Food & Healthcare Ingredients

• Release Agent: Separator: White mineral oil is used to coat baking pans, dough dividers, and other equipment to prevent food from sticking during production. This is especially important in bakeries, where it helps dough release cleanly and prevents burning.
• Confectionery: It's used to prevent candies and other confectionery items from sticking together during production and packaging.

4. Polymers & Resins

• Melt Flow Control: White mineral oil helps regulate how the polymer melts and flows during processing, making it easier to mold and shape into desired forms. 
• Release Agent: It provides release properties, preventing the polymer from sticking to molds or equipment during manufacturing. 
• Physical Property Modification: White mineral oil can alter the final polymer's characteristics, such as its flexibility, softness, or other physical attributes.

5. Lubricants & Automobiles 

• General Lubrication: White mineral oil is used as a lubricant in various industrial applications, ensuring smooth operation and reducing wear and tear on machinery. 
• High-Temperature Applications: Its low volatility makes it suitable for high-temperature environments where other lubricants might evaporate or degrade. 
• Specialty Lubricants: It's used in specific applications like sewing machine lubrication, bicycle lubrication, and other precision mechanics.
• Leak Detection: White mineral oil is burned in specialized machines to produce a thick white smoke that is used to find leaks in automotive evaporative emissions (EVAP) systems.

6. Fabric Solutions

• Lubrication: White mineral oil acts as a lubricant in textile machinery, reducing friction and wear on parts like sewing machines and other equipment.
• Textile Auxiliaries: It's a component in some textile auxiliaries, which are chemicals used to aid in various textile manufacturing processes.
