BHD's petroleum jelly is a highly refined white petrolatum defined by colour, drop point, congealing point, penetration, viscosity and specific gravity, each held to the range on the specification table. It is quoted and supplied through BHD, the house behind BHD Chemical and BHD Sourcing, with a certificate of analysis confirmed per batch.
Petroleum jelly is part of BHD's waxes range, the goods this house is built on alongside paraffin wax and slack wax. As a petroleum jelly supplier, we hold every batch to a fixed colour, drop point and penetration specification, backed by test data rather than adjectives, for candle and cosmetics buyers who want origin integrity they can verify.
