Petroleum Distillates 3
Petroleum Distillates 3 : By-products of the refining of crude oil. Low boiling or light petroleum distillates (LPD) are highly volatile mixtures of hydrocarbons. These mixtures are sometimes called ligroin, petroleum ether, or naphtha. LPDs are used as cigarette lighter fluid, as copier fluid, and as solvents. Medium boiling petroleum distillates (MPD) are sometimes known as mineral spirits, and are used as charcoal starters, as paint thinners, as solvents for insecticides and other products, and as lamp oils. High Boiling or Heavy petroleum distillates (HPD) are combustible liquids such as kerosene and diesel fuel. pH: A number used to represent the acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution. pH 7 is neutral. Acids have a pH below 7, the lower the pH, the more acidic the solution. Bases have a pH above 7. The higher the pH, the more basic of alkaline the solution
