Citronella Oil

Description
A light yellowish essential oil obtained from Far Eastern grasses.
Usually shipped in drums. Used as a perfume in soaps and disinfectants and in the manufacture of insect repellent. Many citronella oil shipments are made in second-hand lubricating oil drums. In consequence, the oil becomes slightly contaminated by particles of dirt and lubricant. The small percentage remaining after treatment by suction is accepted by the trade and is easily removed by the consignee with the aid of filters.
