About PETROLEUM ETHER 40-60 deg C AR

PETROLEUM ETHER 40-60 deg C AR is a highly pure solvent with a boiling range of 40-60C, widely used in laboratories for extraction and purification processes. It is a clear, colorless liquid with an odorless, mild petroleum-like smell and a purity level of over 99%. This Analytical Reagent grade solvent consists of a mixture of alkanes such as pentane, hexane, and heptane, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. With properties like high flammability, rapid evaporation, and a low boiling point, it is essential for chemical analysis, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and recrystallization applications.
