ODORLESS KEROSENE
ODORLESS KEROSENE
Chemical Formula: — (Complex mixture of hydrocarbons, typically C??–C??)
Molecular Weight: Approx. 150–200 g/mol
Description:
Odorless Kerosene is a clear, colorless, highly refined hydrocarbon liquid obtained through advanced distillation and deodorization processes. It is characterized by low aromatic content, high flash point, and almost no detectable odor. It burns cleanly and evenly, making it suitable for indoor, laboratory, and specialty industrial uses.
Applications:
-
Lighting & Heating: Used in lamps, stoves, and space heaters for clean and smokeless combustion.
-
Laboratory Use: As a solvent and cleaning agent for laboratory and analytical applications.
-
Paints & Coatings: Used as a diluent or solvent in paints, varnishes, and thinners.
-
Aerospace & Industrial Cleaning: Suitable for degreasing precision components and testing fuel systems.
-
Household & Maintenance: Safe solvent for cleaning and maintenance where odor-free operation is preferred.
