PETROLEUM ETHER Chemical Properties, Uses, Production
Description
Petroleum ether, a petroleum distillation fraction, is a mixture of low molecular weight aliphatic hydrocarbons (mostly pentanes and hexanes) with a low boiling range, typically around 30-60oC. Its name is derived from its origin and its ease of evaporation. Petroleum ether is commonly used as a nonpolar solvent for oils, fats, and waxes. Petroleum ether is used in pharmaceutical industries as a solvent to isolate compounds, e.g. petroleum ether can extract stigmasterol and beta-sitosterol from the aerial parts of Ageratum conyzoides and compounds with immunomodulatory activity from Anacyclus pyrethrum. It is also used as a detergent, a fuel, insecticide, in paints and varnishes, and in photography.
Application
PETROLEUM ETHER can be used in edible oils, printing inks, leather, pesticides, insecticides, cosmetics, fragrances, chemical polymerization, pharmaceuticals, and electronic cleaning.

Description
Naphtha (petroleum) hydrodesulfurized heavy. A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained from catalytic hydrodesulfurization.. It consists of aromatic hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C8-10.
Definition
PETROLEUM ETHER is a complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained from a catalytic hydrodesulfurization process. It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C7 through C12 and boiling in the range of approximately 90.degree.C to 230.degree.C (194.degree.F to 446.degree.F).
Flammability and Explosibility
Extremely flammable
Toxics Screening Level
The Initial Threshold Screening Level (ITSL) for naphtha (petroleum) hydrodesulfurized heavy,also known as VARSOL 40 is 14 μg/m3 based on an annual averaging time.
