Shell Ondina Oil 934
Medicinal white oil
Shell Ondina Oils are highly refined, non-stabilised, aromatic-free paraffinic or
naphthenic white mineral oils complying with the stringent pharmacopoeia purity
requirements. Ondina oils can be used in pharmaceutical, food packaging, cosmetic
and other applications, where this high purity is required by legislation or important
for the quality of the finished product.
