#The scoop on Penreco Petrolatums…
is that you can be absolutely sure of their purity and uniformity … order after order after order. At Penreco we don’t regard purity as a quality feature; it is the essential feature.
Penreco Petrolatums meet or exceed FDA and USP requirements. They are odorless, tasteless, non-irritating, inert, stable and highly versatile ingredients that may solve a product or production problem for you. For complete specifications or test samples, contact Charles Steenbergen or any member of our technical department.
[additional notes] This advertisement highlights the companies essential features which is that their product, petrolatums are pure and uniform. It is also emphasized that the products are odorless and tasteless which are crucial qualities for food additives. Something that stood out to me is that the advertisement mentions that their “highly versatile ingredients … may solve a product or production problem for you”. This seems like a very broad and valgue comment to make when you are trying to market your product. Makes me think that Pectrolatums won’t really solve many of the common production productions.
