Abstract A study has been made of ointment bases prepared from
mineral oil thickened with Bentone 38 gellant.
The experimental work was divided into two distinct
parts: (1) the development of ointment bases using the Bentone
gellants, and (2) subsequent comparison of these bases
with White Petrolatum, Plastibase Hydrophilic, and other
bases in common use.
Three different hydrophilic, water-absorbing ointment
bases were prepared from Bentone 3B gellant and mineral oiI. Two
of the bases were W/O emulsion bases. The third was an
anhydrous or "grease type" base.
In evaluating these bases, experimental data are presented
for: (I) physical and chemical stability, (2) body and consistency, (3) drug release properties, and (4) handling
and manufacturing characteristics.
