De-odourized kerosene

Deodorized kerosene; low odor kerosene

CAS 64742-48-9

Chemical Formula Not defined (Represented by various hydrocarbons)

Molecular Weight 200 g/mol

De-odourized kerosene is kerosene that has had its strong, characteristic odor reduced or eliminated through additional refining processes. This makes it suitable for indoor use, especially in environments where ventilation is limited, as it produces less smell when burned. The deodorization process often involves techniques like activated carbon adsorption or treatment with solvents like sulfuric acid.

Industrial Uses

1. Cleaning & Disinfectants

  • Dissolves grease and oil: Kerosene's solvent properties allow it to break down and dissolve oily substances, making it easier to wipe away or wash off stains. 
  • Stain removal: It's particularly useful for removing oil-based stains from various surfaces.

2. Paints, Coatings & Adhesives

  • Solvent and Thinner: Kerosene thins paints, varnishes, and coatings, making them easier to apply with a brush, roller, or spray. This allows for a more even coat and can improve the final appearance of the finish.

3. Lubricants & Automobiles

  • Cleaning and Degreasing: Deodorized kerosene acts as a powerful solvent, effectively dissolving and removing oil, grease, and other contaminants from metal surfaces. This is crucial in various metalworking processes, where clean surfaces are essential for subsequent treatments like painting, coating, or welding. 
  • Metal Pre-treatment: DOK is used in metal pre-treatment chemicals to prepare surfaces for further processing. This preparation can include cleaning, degreasing, and creating a suitable surface profile for better adhesion of coatings or other treatments.

4. Fabric Solutions

  • Pigment Printing: In pigment printing, a common method for applying color to fabrics, deodorized kerosene is often used as a component in the printing paste formulation. It helps to create a stable emulsion with other ingredients like binders, water, and emulsifiers.

5. Energy

  • Heating & Lighting: De-odorized kerosene is a common fuel for portable kerosene heaters and stoves, especially in areas without access to natural gas or electricity. It's also used in kerosene lamps for lighting, providing a reliable light source in off-grid locations or during power outages.
