Petroleum Ether High Purity Grade

Petroleum Ether High Purity Grade

High Purity, American Chemical Society (ACS) Grade Petroleum Ethe r meets or exceeds the standards of purity set by the ACS, and as such at least 95% pure. It is suitable for use in medicinal, pharmaceutical, food and other consumable processes.

Petroleum Ether High Purity Grade contains a mixture of low molecular weight aliphatic hydrocarbons including various pentanes and hexanes . Owing to its low flash point, it can cause an explosion hazard and requires a safe storage away from any source of ignition.

Petroleum Ether High Purity Grade is a mixture of low molecular weight aliphatic hydrocarbons, including various pentanes and hexanes. Its CAS number is 8032-32-4, and it’s sold as a liquid solvent for laboratory work. It has a low flash point, so you’ll want to store it away from any source of ignition. Under Product Manuals you’ll find the Allergen Statement, BPA Statement, Manufacturing Process Flow Chart, No Animal Testing Declaration, PFAS/PFOS Free Statement, Safety Data Sheet, Technical Data Sheet and TSE/BSE Declaration. Certificates of Analysis are listed right below them.

You’ll find petroleum ether in glue removal, general solvent work, and varnishes. Labs use it to suspend and extract fats, lipids and plant based material, and it shows up in HPLC and liquid chromatography work too. The trouble is that a solvent is only useful if it arrives in the right size, with the paperwork your team needs, and handled properly as hazmat. The SDS, Technical Data Sheet and Certificates of Analysis are available right on this page. Sizes run from 500ml up to 55 gallons, and hazmat shipping is handled from start to finish. Pick your size, set up Autoship if you reorder often, or request a quote for larger volumes. On budget, on time, every time.
