What does Vaseline Cone Penetration Mean Between 125-135?

What does Vaseline Cone Penetration Mean Between 125-135?‌

A Vaseline cone penetration of 125-135 (unit: 0.1mm) indicates its consistency is in the medium-to-soft range, with the following specific implications:‌

‌1. Definition and Significance of Cone Penetration‌

Cone penetration is an indicator of the hardness/softness of semi-solid substances like Vaseline. It refers to the depth a standard cone penetrates a sample under specified conditions (25°C, 5 seconds). A higher value indicates softer Vaseline, while a lower value indicates harder Vaseline.

‌2. Practical Characteristics of 125-135 Cone Penetration‌

‌Texture‌: Vaseline in this range has a soft texture, making it easy to apply and suitable as a moisturizer or skin protective film.

‌Applications‌:

‌Skin Moisturization‌: Effectively locks in moisture, alleviating dryness or cracking.

‌Wound Care‌: Forms a breathable protective layer to promote healing.

‌Medical Auxiliaries‌: When used as an ointment base, it must be combined with other medications.

‌3. Comparison with Other Cone Penetration Ranges‌

‌Harder Range (e.g., 85-115)‌: Suitable for high-load lubrication scenarios.

‌Softer Range (e.g., 130-160)‌: Higher fluidity but poorer sealing performance.

‌4. Testing and Precautions‌

Cone penetration measurement must strictly follow standard methods (e.g., GB/T 269).

Ambient temperature and humidity can affect results; testing is recommended at a constant 25°C.

ST211B automatic yellow/white Vaseline ointment cone Penetration tester is designed and manufactured in accordance with the technical requirements and relevant regulations of pharmacopoeia 2020 0983 cone Penetration law and European Pharmacopoeia Method 2.9.9 - Measurement of Consistency by Penetration and is mainly suitable for testing the coning degree of Vaseline and ointment.

This instrument can also be used for the inspection of solid fine grain, powder, colloid, jelly and other materials, as well as food raw materials such as cheese, sugar gum, butter, wheat gluten, cream and fermentation, etc. It can be widely used in food industry, traffic highway engineering and other industrial sectors.
