Petroleum Ether, ACS Grade – CAS 8032-32-4
Product Overview
Petroleum Ether, ACS Grade, is a highly refined, low-boiling aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent that meets or exceeds American Chemical Society (ACS) specifications. Despite its name, petroleum ether is not a true ether but a volatile mixture of pentanes and hexanes. It is widely used in analytical chemistry, natural product extraction, and sample preparation where non-polar solvents are required. With excellent volatility and minimal residue, it supports reproducible results in laboratory and regulated settings.
Key Industries
- Analytical Chemistry – Used as a non-polar extraction solvent and for chromatography prep
- Pharmaceuticals – Applied in active compound isolation and quality control workflows
- Botanical Extraction – Suitable for lipid and essential oil removal from plant material
- Research Laboratories – Employed for solvent purification and organic compound separation
- Cosmetics & Fragrances – Used in non-aqueous extraction and testing environments
Packaging Options
Petroleum Ether, ACS Grade is available in sealed glass bottles, HDPE containers, and DOT-compliant drums to ensure purity and safe handling. Custom packaging configurations are available for labs and facilities requiring bulk volumes or inert-atmosphere filling.
