Description
A liquid mixture of light hydrocarbons obtained from crude petroleum. Gasoline, or Naphtha, is the distillation fraction of petroleum that boils between 35-204C (100-400F). Kerosene is the heavier liquid fraction obtained in the boiling range of 204-343C. Mineral oil is collected from 330-360C. Additional fractions are often distilled from gasoline and have over the years been given many confusing and overlapping names:
- fraction (boiling range) = alternate names
- volatiles (<40C) = Propane, Butane, LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), petroleum ether
- naphtha, light (35-60C) = petroleum ether, benzine, ligroin, petroleum spirits
- hydrocarbon solvents (60-100C) = Benzene, Toluene, hexanes, octane, petroleum solvent
- Ligroin (90-150 C) = benzine, petroleum spirits, VM&P naphtha, heavy naphtha
- Mineral spirits (150-200C) = paint thinner, white spirits, petroleum spirits, Stoddard solvent
- Mineral wax = Paraffin, Microcrystalline wax, Petrolatum
Risks
- Highly flammable.
- Toxic by ingestion and inhalation
