Description
Petroleum benzine 40-65 is an extra pure hydrocarbon solvent fraction characterised by a boiling range of 44 to 62 °C, a density of 0,65 g/cm³, and a flash point of −43 °C. The 40-65 designation reflects the low-boiling petroleum ether cut commonly selected for extraction, degreasing of glassware, and non-polar dissolution steps in chemical and analytical laboratories. Extra pure quality supports work where a defined light petroleum fraction is preferred over broader technical grades. This offering is Density and boiling data help match the solvent to method specifications for evaporation behaviour and phase separation. With UN number 3295, the product is handled as a flammable liquid under standard laboratory safety practice. Petroleum benzine 40-65 remains a staple non-polar medium for organic work-up, sample preparation, and cleaning protocols that call for a rapidly evaporating aliphatic fraction in a one-litre glass bottle format.
This article is part of Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides), in Analytical standards & reference materials.

Questions about Petroleum benzine 40-65, extra pure, 1 l, glass
What is this article?
Petroleum benzine 40-65, extra pure, 1 l, 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.
