PETROLATUM Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Petrolatum, also known as petroleum jelly, is a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum. It is used in a wide range of applications, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial lubricants. Petrolatum is valued for its occlusive properties, forming a protective barrier on the skin to lock in moisture. It is also used in the manufacture of ointments, creams, and lotions. In industrial settings, petrolatum serves as a lubricant and rust preventative. It is generally considered safe but should be used with caution in sensitive applications to avoid contamination.
