Petroleum Ether 2.5L – Reagent, Puriss. p.a.
Petroleum Ether 2.5L is a high-purity laboratory solvent widely used in analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, solvent extraction, chromatography, sample preparation, and scientific research. This product is specified as Reagent, Puriss. p.a. grade, making it suitable for laboratory applications where controlled solvent quality and reliable performance are important. It has a boiling range of 40–60°C and is supplied in a convenient 2.5-liter pack size for laboratory and institutional use.
Product Description
Petroleum Ether is a low-boiling petroleum fraction consisting mainly of light aliphatic hydrocarbons. Unlike ethyl ether, petroleum ether is not a single chemical compound but a mixture of hydrocarbons with similar boiling characteristics. Due to its non-polar nature, it is particularly useful for dissolving and extracting non-polar substances from different samples.
The 40–60°C boiling range makes this grade suitable for applications where a relatively low-boiling solvent is required. Petroleum Ether can be used for extraction, purification, analytical testing, and various organic chemistry procedures. Its physical and chemical properties make it a commonly used solvent in research laboratories, educational institutions, pharmaceutical research, food analysis, and natural product studies.
This product has a specified density of 0.640–0.655 g/mL at 20°C and a vapor density of approximately 2.5 compared with air. The specification also includes controlled limits for iodine value, non-volatile matter, free acid, benzene, and water content.
