Frequently Asked Questions
Main end-use segments for petroleum jelly include cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceuticals, food, leather and wood care, metal protection, hair care, telecommunications (cable filling compounds), and industrial applications such as mold release agent and lubricant. Cosmetics and personal care applications account for approximately 45% to 55% of global petroleum jelly demand. Pharmaceutical applications contribute around 20% to 25%, while industrial uses collectively account for the remaining 20% to 35%
Production from crude oil involves distillation to separate heavier paraffin wax fractions, de-oiling using solvents to remove oil from slack wax and solvent extraction for impurity removal, hydro finishing (hydrogen treatment to saturate hydrocarbons), decolorization and deodorization, and final blending of wax fractions to achieve the desired consistency before packaging. Key equipment includes cylindrical aluminium jacketed reaction vessels, hydrogenation reactors, mixing tanks, viscous liquid filling machines, cooling systems, and cooling tanks.
Crude oil-derived slack wax and heavy petroleum fractions are the primary feedstocks for petroleum jelly production and account for approximately 70% to 85% of total raw material costs. Processing inputs such as hydrogen, solvents, catalysts, filtration materials, and additives contribute to the remaining cost share.
