Product Overview
Petroleum Ether 60-80°C is a high-purity, low-boiling hydrocarbon solvent widely used in laboratory settings for its excellent dissolving properties and volatility. This reference-grade solvent is meticulously distilled to ensure a narrow boiling range (60-80°C), making it ideal for precise applications requiring consistent evaporation rates. Its non-polar nature allows efficient extraction of lipids, fats, and other hydrophobic compounds, while its low residue ensures minimal interference in analytical procedures. The solvent is free from additives, ensuring high chemical stability and compatibility with sensitive instruments. With a flash point below room temperature, it requires careful handling, but its efficiency in dissolving organic substances makes it indispensable in chromatography, sample preparation, and purification processes. The reference standard grade guarantees batch-to-batch consistency, meeting stringent lab requirements for reproducibility and accuracy. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources to maintain purity and extend shelf life.
