Description
Petroleum ether 40-60 °C is a low-boiling hydrocarbon solvent fraction supplied in ROTISOLV® Pestilyse® plus quality for chromatographic and GC-related laboratory work. The boiling range of 40 to 60 °C defines the cut, while a density of 0,65 g/cm³ and a flash point of −40 °C describe key physical behaviour for process planning and safe handling. The material is packed as 2,5 l in glass, a practical volume for routine extraction, sample preparation and solvent applications in analytical laboratories. Petroleum ether 40-60 °C from manufacturer Carl ROTH under the ROTISOLV® Pestilyse® plus designation suits workflows that need a controlled solvent grade for chromatographic use. UN number 3295 applies for transport classification. Clear boiling-range labelling helps match the solvent to method requirements where a 40–60 °C petroleum ether cut is specified. Handle as a highly flammable liquid in accordance with laboratory safety rules and the product safety data sheet.
This article is part of HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, in Solvents. See also Analytical grade solvents (p.a.).

Questions about Petroleum ether 40-60 °C, ROTISOLV® Pestilyse® plus, 2.5 l, glass
What is this article?
Petroleum ether 40-60 °C, ROTISOLV® Pestilyse® plus, 2.5 l, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
HPLC grade limits the absorbance and the residue that would appear as peaks or baseline drift. LC-MS grade goes further on metal ions and on particles that would suppress a mass spectrum. A solvent that is only analytical grade is a false economy on an LC-MS system.
A solvent dissolves. The grade says which impurities are low enough for the method. Analytical grade is the ordinary pure solvent. HPLC and LC-MS grades limit the absorbance and the ions that would become peaks or background. A dry solvent has had water removed. A deuterated solvent is for NMR, where the hydrogen signal would otherwise drown the sample. Technical grade is for cleaning and for synthesis that does not need a chromatogram. Identity is on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Hazards follow ECHA, the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Solvents. The sub-category is HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), Dry & deuterated solvents (NMR, synthesis), Technical & synthesis grade solvents and Green & alternative solvents.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
