description Product Description
Petroleum ether is widely used as a solvent in laboratories and industries due to its ability to dissolve non-polar substances. This high-purity grade is specifically formulated for gas chromatography (GC) and environmental analysis, featuring low non-volatile matter, minimal residue, and low UV absorbance to ensure accurate results in sensitive applications. It is commonly employed in the extraction of oils, fats, and waxes from natural sources, making it essential in the production of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products. In laboratories, it is used for chromatography as a mobile phase to separate and analyze compounds. Additionally, it serves as a cleaning agent for removing grease and oil residues from machinery and equipment. Its low boiling point makes it suitable for use in processes requiring quick evaporation, such as in the preparation of coatings and adhesives. However, its flammability and volatility require careful handling and storage.
