Petroleum Spirit 60-80 (Glass Distilled)

Petroleum Spirit 60-80, also known as petrol or gasoline, is a colourless to pale yellow liquid that is derived from crude oil. It is a highly flammable and volatile mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily consisting of alkanes and cycloalkanes.

Petroleum Spirit 60-80 is commonly used as a fuel for internal combustion engines in vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles and boats. It is also used as a solvent for various purposes, including in the production of paints, varnishes and other chemicals.

The numbers "60-80" in the name refer to the boiling range of the hydrocarbons present in the mixture. Specifically, Petroleum Spirit 60-80 has a boiling point range of approximately 60 to 80 degrees Celsius.

Due to its high flammability and volatility, Petroleum Spirit 60-80 must be handled with care and stored in appropriate containers to prevent accidental fires and explosions. It is also important to follow safety guidelines when using petrol-powered equipment or vehicles.
