Petroleum jelly, petrolatum, white petrolatum, soft paraffin or multi-hydrocarbon, is a semi-solidmixture of hydrocarbons originally promoted as a topical ointment for its healing properties.
Petroleum jelly was first noticed by oil well drillers . . . it came out of the crude oil and would build up on the adjacent equipment.
At some point an oil driller tried rubbing some on a bad abrasion or burn, and found that the wound healed much faster than before.
Water and petroleum jelly do not dissolve in each other, regardless of heating. Petroleum jelly is a hydrophobic substance that does not mix with water, as it is composed of hydrocarbons. Heating may alter the viscosity of petroleum jelly, but it won't enable it to dissolve in water.
Water and petroleum jelly do not dissolve in each other, regardless of whether heat is applied. Water is a polar solvent, while petroleum jelly is a non-polar substance, leading to their immiscibility. Heating may change the viscosity of petroleum jelly but won't facilitate dissolution in water.
Petroleum jelly's freezing point is 38 - 45 deg C.
Petroleum jelly, also known as petrolatum, is not water-based. It is a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum, which is a non-polar substance. Water-based products contain water as the main ingredient, whereas petroleum jelly is oil-based and does not contain any water.
No, it is a petroleum/wax/oil based compound. Electrons do not freely travel between molecules, in that, it's a dielectric. Similarly to the dielectric fluid in a transformer, petroleum jelly can be used as an insulator. It's thermal conduction isn't as good.
petroleum jelly, oil, and gasoline are some
napalm is the mix with petroleum jelly to create a fire bomb!
No, contrary to popular belief, petroleum jelly is in fact a jelly.
Petroleum jelly has many uses. Petroleum jelly may be put on a burn to help soothe it. Petroleum jelly may also reduce scarring.
No, petroleum jelly does not contain latex. Petroleum jelly is made from petroleum, while latex is derived from the milky sap of rubber trees. They are two different substances with different chemical compositions.

Yes, petroleum jelly does make you smile. It tastes really gross, and when you close your mouth you can taste it. Because of this it keeps you smile, but it doesn't physically force you to smile.
Petroleum jelly is made from petrolatum, a mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum. The name "petroleum jelly" comes from the fact that it is derived from petroleum, not necessarily from being an actual jelly made from oil.
You don't put eggs in petroleum jelly to preserve.
