Description: Petroleum jelly is a mixture of hydrocarbons which is semisolid at room temperature, and it is also odorless, when properly refined. It is used in a variety of industries, although many people associate it with the popular Vaseline® brand personal care product. It may also be marketed as petrolatum or soft paraffin. Many general stores carry petroleum jelly, and it can also be found at medical supply houses and drugstores.
Application: Petroleum jelly is used for various medical purpose and can also make a useful lubricant in some cases, although it can also gum up machinery. Because petroleum jelly protects objects from oxidation, it may be used to coat metals which are vulnerable to oxidation damage. Many printers and etchers, for example, use a thin coat of petroleum jelly to protect type and plates from oxidation so that they can be stored.
