Description
Petroleum benzine 40-60 is an extra pure hydrocarbon solvent supplied for laboratory use The boiling range of 40 to 60 °C defines its volatility profile, while the density of 0,65 g/cm³ supports accurate volume-to-mass conversions during preparation and dispensing. A flash point of −35 °C indicates high flammability and the need for appropriate handling under controlled laboratory conditions. This extra pure grade from manufacturer Carl ROTH is suited to extraction, cleaning, and general solvent applications where a low-boiling petroleum fraction is specified. The glass bottle format supports secure storage and controlled pour-out at the bench. Users can rely on the stated boiling interval and density when selecting a solvent matched to temperature-sensitive or rapid-evaporation steps. quantity is practical for routine laboratory consumption without excessive bulk. Together, the extra pure quality, defined boiling range, and clear physical data make petroleum benzine 40-60 a well-characterised choice for chemical and analytical work requiring a light petroleum fraction in glass packaging.
This article is part of Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides), in Analytical standards & reference materials.

Questions about Petroleum benzine 40-60, extra pure, 500 ml, glass
What is this article?
Petroleum benzine 40-60, extra pure, 500 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Technical & synthesis grade solvents, inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
Technical and synthesis grades are for cleaning, for a coarse extraction and for chemistry that does not end in a chromatogram. They cost less because more impurity is allowed. They are the wrong bottle to make a mobile phase or a volumetric standard.
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 Technical & synthesis grade solvents. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, Dry & deuterated solvents (NMR, synthesis) and Green & alternative solvents.
What should I check before I order?
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.
