About PETROLEUM ETHER 40-60 Degree C PRA

Petroleum Ether 40-60 Degree C PRA is a highly volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture primarily composed of hexane and other alkanes, with a purity of 99.5%. It appears as a clear colorless liquid with a neutral odor and taste. Widely used in laboratories and industrial processes, this technical-grade solvent is ideal for extraction, cleaning, and purification applications. Its insolubility in water but solubility in organic solvents make it a versatile choice. With a molecular weight of 86.18 g/mol and a density of 0.66 g/cm3, this solvent must be stored in tightly sealed containers away from heat due to its poisonous and flammable nature.
