Basic Information of Petroleum Ether

Petroleum Ether (CAS No. 8032-32-4) is a colorless, highly flammable liquid with a characteristic gasoline-like odor. Its low boiling points and excellent solvency for non-polar substances make it indispensable for extraction, purification, and cleaning processes where a volatile and residue-free solvent is needed.

Tailored Quality: Petroleum Ether by Boiling Range

At Aure Chemical, we understand that different applications demand specific solvent properties. Therefore, we offer Petroleum Ether precisely fractionated by boiling range, ensuring optimal performance and consistency for your processes. Our common grades include:

Petroleum Ether 30-60°C

• Description: The lightest fraction, characterized by its very low boiling point and high volatility.

• Key Applications: Ideal for applications requiring rapid evaporation, such as quick drying extractions, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and as a solvent in volatile formulations.

Petroleum Ether 40-60°C

• Description: A slightly heavier fraction than 30-60°C, offering a balance between volatility and solvency power.

• Key Applications: A commonly used laboratory solvent for extractions (e.g., fats and oils), chromatography (column and paper), and as a general-purpose solvent in various analytical and synthetic procedures.

Petroleum Ether 60-80°C

• Description: A higher boiling range fraction, providing increased solvency and reduced evaporation rate compared to lighter grades.

• Key Applications: Suitable for industrial cleaning and degreasing, as a solvent in paints, coatings, and adhesives, and for extractions requiring slightly less volatility.

All our grades of Petroleum Ether undergo stringent quality control, ensuring high purity, low residue on evaporation, and minimal aromatic content. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA) accompanies every batch, confirming its specific boiling range and purity parameters.

General Applications of Petroleum Ether

Across its various boiling ranges, Petroleum Ether is widely used for:

• Extraction Solvent: Highly effective for extracting fats, oils, waxes, and resins from various natural products and materials in both food and industrial applications.

• Chromatography: An essential mobile phase or eluent in various chromatographic techniques, including thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and column chromatography.

• Industrial Cleaning & Degreasing: Used as a powerful cleaning agent for machinery, electronic components, and surfaces, leaving minimal residue.
