Description
Paraffin oil low viscosity is a ROTI®Pharm Excipient grade mineral oil meeting Ph.Eur. requirements, offered for pharmaceutical and laboratory excipient applications. Identified by CAS number 8042-47-5 and EG nr. 232-455-8, this low-viscosity paraffin oil shows a density range of 0,81 to 0,875 g/cm³, a flash point above 112 °C, and a boiling range from 218 to 800 °C. The product is Typical use includes excipient roles in preparations that call for paraffin oil with controlled physical properties. Clear density, flash-point, and boiling-point data help laboratories select the correct viscosity grade alongside related high-viscosity variants. Packaged for straightforward handling on the bench or in production support areas, this ROTI®Pharm quality oil provides a consistent Ph.Eur. excipient option for regulated and research settings that require documented mineral oil characteristics.

Questions about Paraffin oil low viscosity, ROTI®Pharm Excipient, 1 l, plastic
What is this article?
Paraffin oil low viscosity, ROTI®Pharm Excipient, 1 l, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Viscometers, inside Density & viscosity measurement, in Lab instruments.
A capillary viscometer times the flow of a liquid through a tube. A rotational viscometer twists a spindle in the liquid. Both need a stated temperature. Kinematic and dynamic viscosity are different numbers. The capillary size has to put the flow time in the range the method allows.
Density is mass divided by volume. A hydrometer floats at a depth that depends on the density of the liquid. A pycnometer is a vessel of known volume that is weighed full. Viscosity is the resistance to flow. A capillary viscometer times how long a volume takes to fall through a tube. Both measurements need a stated temperature, because liquids change density and viscosity as they warm. The units trace to the BIPM and to NIST.
