  2. Petroleum ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_ether

    Petroleum ether is the petroleum fraction consisting of aliphatic hydrocarbons and boiling in the range 35–60 °C, and commonly used as a laboratory solvent. [4] Despite the name, petroleum ether is not an ether ; the term is used only figuratively, signifying extreme lightness and volatility.

  3. Aliphatic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliphatic_compound

    Aliphatic compounds can be saturated, joined by single bonds (), or unsaturated, with double bonds or triple bonds ().If other elements (heteroatoms) are bound to the carbon chain, the most common being oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and chlorine, it is no longer a hydrocarbon, and therefore no longer an aliphatic compound.

  4. Solvent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvent

    A solvent is usually a liquid but can also be a solid, a gas, or a supercritical fluid. Water is a solvent for polar molecules, and the most common solvent used by living things; all the ions and proteins in a cell are dissolved in water within the cell. Major uses of solvents are in paints, paint removers, inks, and dry cleaning. [2]

  5. Isopar M - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopar_M

    Isopar M is a nearly clear odorless petroleum distillate and solvent produced by ExxonMobil. It is created from crude oil. It has a flash point of more than 60 °C, and works as a forming fluid in metalworking, as a household cleaner, a household polisher, and a liquid vaporizer.

  6. Liquid fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_fuel

    Gasoline is the most widely used liquid fuel. Gasoline, as it is known in United States and Canada, or petrol virtually everywhere else, is made of hydrocarbon molecules (compounds that contain hydrogen and carbon only) forming aliphatic compounds, or chains of carbons with hydrogen atoms attached.

  7. Cracking (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracking_(chemistry)

    The catalyst-hydrocarbon mixture flows upward through the riser for a few seconds, and then the mixture is separated via cyclones. The catalyst-free hydrocarbons are routed to a main fractionator for separation into fuel gas, LPG, gasoline, naphtha, light cycle oils used in diesel and jet fuel, and heavy fuel oil. [citation needed]

  8. Hydrocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocarbon

    In the fossil fuel industries, hydrocarbon refers to naturally occurring petroleum, natural gas and coal, or their hydrocarbon derivatives and purified forms. Combustion of hydrocarbons is the main source of the world's energy. Petroleum is the dominant raw-material source for organic commodity chemicals such as solvents and

  9. Parylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parylene

    Moreover, the only gas in the deposition chamber is the monomer, without any solvents, catalysts, or byproducts that could attack the object. Parylene AF-4 and VT-4 are both fluorinated and as a result very expensive compared to parylene N and C, which has severely limited their commercial use, except for niche applications.
