Brenntag

ExxonMobil White Oils are manufactured in accordance with European GMP standards and handled in a clean room at the Brenntag site in Hamburg. This promotes high quality and competitive lead times with reliable availability across EMEA.

White Oils are versatile products with a long list of applications across pharmaceuticals, beauty & care, nutrition and material science industries:

  • Medicinal White Oils from ExxonMobil are known under the brands of Marcol and Primol. Within pharmaceuticals, White Oils are used as a base for ointments and creams and used as a laxative in small quantities. ExxonMobil White Oils are compliant with Regulations Eur. Ph., USP, FDA 21 CFR 178.3620(a), NSF H1 and European Directive N° 10/2011.
  • For Beauty & Personal Care, White Oils are a key ingredient for creams, lotions and baby oils for its moisturising properties.
  • For agriculture applications, White Oils act as a pesticide by targeting pests, like aphids and mites on plants. For animal vaccines, White Oils are used as an adjuvant to enhance the immune response.
  • In polystyrene, White Oils are used for insulation, packaging and product manufacturing, due to its lightweight and durable properties.
  • For lubricants, White Oils are used in machinery, especially in food processing equipment.

Joakim Rehné, Regional President Pharma EMEA, states: “The long-lasting and trustful cooperation with ExxonMobil on White Oils across all parts of our Specialties portfolio shows Brenntag’s unique position to market and distribute high-quality products reliably, timely and on competitive terms to a broad base of customers across EMEA. We are proud of our long-standing relationship with ExxonMobil, built on trust, and we continue to strive for excellence as their branded distributor for an even larger group of countries.”
