Description

Kerosene is an oil distillate commonly used as a fuel or solvent. It is a thin, clear liquid consisting of a mixture of hydrocarbons that boil between 302°F and 527°F (150°C and 275°C). While Kerosene can be extracted from Coal, Oil Shale, and Wood, it is primarily derived from refined Petroleum. Before electric lights became popular, Kerosene was widely used in oil lamps and was one of the most important refinery products. Today Kerosene is primarily used as a heating oil, as fuel in jet engines, and as a solvent for insecticide sprays.
