Medicinal oil highly refined, colorless, tasteless, and odorless petroleum oil used as a medicine in the nature of an internal lubricant sometimes called liquid paraffin. 

Lubricants of all kinds, medicinal oil, transformer oil, wax, hydrauUc oil, detergents and wetting agents, rust preveaitatives, waterproofing compounds. 

Various animals are predators of marmots, including golden eagles, hawks, foxes, and coyotes. Humans are also predators of marmots in some parts of their range, using the animals as a source of meat, and sometimes as a source of medicinal oils.

Derivation From the seeds of the castor bean, Ricinus communis (Brazil, India, the former U.S.S.R., U.S.). They are cold-pressed for the first grade of medicinal oil and hot pressed for the common qualities, approximately 40% of the oil content of the bean being obtained. Residual oil in the cake is obtained by solvent extraction. Chief constituent Ricinolein (glyceride of ricinoleic acid). 

Hazard Irritant and narcotic in high concentration. Use Flavors, perfumes, medicine, oils, dyes, resins.

Medicinal oils represent the most refined of the bulk petroleum products, especially when the principal use is for the pharmaceutical industry. Thus mineral oil destined for pharmaceutical purposes must meet stringent specifications to ensure that the oil is inert and that it does not contain any materials that are suspected to be toxic. Technical mineral oil (as opposed to pharmaceutical mineral oil) must meet much less stringent specifications requirements because the use is generally for transformer oil, cosmetic preparations (such as hair cream), in the plastics industry, and in textiles processing. Many of the same test methods are applied to all mineral oils, although the specifications will differ and oils for different uses will have to meet different standards of purity. 

Medicinal oil requires a test in which the reaction of the oil to hot, strong sulfuric acid is used to determine the presence of carbonizable substance in the oil. However, the test for carbonizable substances (ASTM D-565)... 

In one test (ASTM D-156) for the determination of color the height of a column of the oil is decreased by levels corresponding to color numbers until the color of the sample is lighter than that of the standard. The color number immediately above this level is recorded as the Saybolt color of the oil, and a color number of +25 corresponds to water mineral, whereas the minimum color intensity reading on this scale is expressed by +30, a value normally attained by mineral oils. In another test (IP 17), in which the measurements are performed with an 18-in. cell against color slides on a scale, a color of 1.0 or under is considered water-mineral and medicinal oils will normally be 0.5 or less. Conversion scales for different color tests are available (ASTM D-1500). 

Although the total sulfur content (ASTM D-129, IP 61) of medicinal oil is not limited as such, it is in effect restricted (usually to well below 100 ppm) by the necessity of severe refining to meet the other clauses of the specification. Flowever, the total sulfur content of mineral oils normally is well below lOOppm because of the severe refining to which the oil has been subjected (Speight, 2000). Therefore, sulfur is not a limiting factor in the... 

Other test methods for the determination of corrosive sulfur (specifically hydrogen sulfide) are also available (ASTM D-6021, ASTM D-5705), which have been developed for residual fuel oil but can be applied to medicinal oil. Another test method (ASTM D-3227, IP 324) is used for the determination of mercaptan (R-SH) sulfur in petroleum products up to and including distillate fuels. However, there is no reason that the test could not be applied to mineral oil, with the use of any necessary modifications for solubility of the mineral oil in the alcoholic solution used for the titration. 

Viscosity data (ASTM D-445, IP 71) are used to ensure that, in the case of oils for internal use as laxatives, unduly fluid material, which could increase risk of leakage through the anal sphincter muscle, is not used. The minimum viscosity is usually on the order of 75cSt at 37.8°C (100°F). The temperature of viscosity measurement is a normal one employed for this purpose and happens, in the case of medicinal oils, to be that of the human body. Thus the viscosity of these oils is measured at their working temperature. 

Food/medicinal oils are frequently referred to as meeting United States Pharmacopeia (USP) or National Formulary (NF) specifications, usually written as meets USP/NF specifications. USP and NF specifications differ only in specific gravity and viscosity. USP oils must have specific gravities between 0.845 and 0.905 at 25°C and have viscosities greater than 34.5 cSt at 40°C. NF oils must have viscosities less than 33.5 cSt at 40°C and must have densities between 0.818 and 0.880 at 25°C. Further details on specifications are provided later.

Applications of bromine include microbe and algae control in swimming pools and flame-retardants. It is also used in medicines, oils, paints, and pesticides.

The natural resins have been used in adhesives and cements, dry colors and pastes, finishing compositions, incense, ink lacquers, linoleum, medicine, oil cloths, oil varnishes, paints, paper sizing, plastics, polishes, rubber compositions, spirit varnishes, textile sizing, and wax compositions. Of particular interest to the plastic field are natural resins in binders and in cold and thermoplastic molding.

It has a secondan- odour i-ecalling that of cumin. It contains from 50 to 70 per cent, of eucalyptol and a small quantity of aiomadendral and a sesquiterpene. This oil is much valued as a medicinal oil, and usually conforms admirably to pharmacopoeial requirements. 

Medicinal oil is practically colourless and usually described as cold pressed, having been obtained by pressure below about 40°. 

Gum tragacanth is used as a suspending agent for many water-insoluble products, where it prevents the settling out of these materials. It is used as a base for jelly lubricants, tooth pastes, medicinal oil emulsions of steroids and fat-soluble vitamins, and insect repellents.
