VWR® Petroleum Spirit, 40–60 °C, AnalaR NORMAPUR® ACS is a high-purity solvent used in a variety of organic chemistry, pharmaceutical, and analytical applications. This low-boiling solvent (40–60°C) is ideal for solvent extraction, chromatography, and as a cleaning agent for laboratory equipment. It is often used for fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) preparation in biodiesel production, and in pharmaceutical manufacturing, where a pure solvent is required for precise chemical reactions.
The solvent is stabilized, ensuring its stability during use, and it is free from significant impurities like water, sulfur, bromine, and heavy metals. The flash point of –40°C indicates its flammability, and care should be taken during storage and handling.
