What is petroleum jelly?
Petroleum jelly according to Wikipedia encyclopedia is a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons (with carbon numbers mainly higher than 25), originally promoted as a topical ointment for its healing properties.
The Vaseline brand is a well-known American brand of petroleum jelly since 1870. But this doesn’t mean other brands are the less important than this brand.
What is petroleum jelly made of?
Petroleum jelly is made by the waxy petroleum material that formed on oil rigs and distilling it. Petroleum jelly is a mixture of hydrocarbons, with a melting point that depends on the exact proportions. This product hasn’t changed much since Robert Augustus Chesebrough discovered it in 1859.
The melting point is typically between 40 and 70 °C (105 and 160 °F). It is flammable only when heated to liquid; then the fumes will light, not the liquid itself, so a wick material like leaves, bark, or small twigs is needed to ignite petroleum jelly.
Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) companies in Lesotho:
Petroleum jelly is quite common in many places, because of this, many Sotho people have started generating income from manufacturing their own petroleum jelly. Over the past years, products made from petroleum jelly generated high sales. As a result, many people have started a business out of selling their own petroleum jelly.
