Description

Kerosene is a refined petroleum distillate consisting of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily in the C12 to C15 range. It is valued for its clean combustion properties, consistent quality, and versatility as a fuel and solvent across numerous industrial sectors. This product is essential for industries requiring a reliable, high-energy-density liquid fuel or an effective degreasing and cleaning agent. Our supply chain ensures a consistent, high-purity product suitable for demanding global applications.

Application

• Aviation Fuel (Jet A, Jet A-1): The primary use as a turbine engine fuel for commercial and military aviation.
• Heating & Lighting: Used in space heaters, furnaces, lamps, and cooking stoves in areas without access to natural gas pipelines.
• Industrial Fuel: Powers generators, industrial boilers, and furnaces for process heating.
• Solvent & Degreaser: An effective cleaning agent for machinery, metal parts, and in pesticide formulations.
• Diluent & Carrier: Used as a carrier fluid in the coatings industry and as a diluent for heavy fuels.
• Chemical Feedstock: Serves as a raw material for producing ethylene and other petrochemicals via steam cracking.

Quality Control

Our kerosene is produced and tested to meet stringent international specifications, including DEF STAN 91-91 (Jet A-1), ASTM D1655, and GOST 10227. Each batch undergoes rigorous analysis for key parameters such as flash point, freezing point, sulfur content, and distillation range to ensure performance and safety. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, providing full traceability and compliance data.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize evaporation and oxidation. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Observe all local and national regulations for the storage of flammable liquids.
