LEYBOLD VACUUM PUMP OIL is a complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained as the raffinate from a solvent extraction process. It consists predominantly of saturated hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C20 through C50 and produces a finish oil with a viscosity of at least 100 SUS at 100.degree.F (19cSt at 40.degree.C).

Paraffin oil, also known as mineral oil, is produced through a series of refining processes from crude oil. The process begins with extracting crude oil from underground reservoirs through drilling. The extracted crude oil undergoes distillation to separate it into various components based on their boiling points. Paraffin oil is derived from the heavier fractions of crude oil. This step involves using a solvent to remove waxy compounds from the paraffin, resulting in a purer form of the oil. Different solvents are used to isolate different hydrocarbon chains. The final refining process, hydro finishing, treats the paraffin with hydrogen to remove impurities and stabilise the oil, improving its colour, odour, and stability.

Nonflammable

Contact action, eggs covered by an oil film are starved of oxygen and so do not hatch.

The ITSL for solvent-refined heavy paraffinic distillates is 50 μg/m3 with an 8 hour averaging time.
