Kerosene

Kerosene is less volatile than gasoline and has a higher flash point, making it safer for some applications. However, it is essential to handle kerosene with care due to its flammable nature. Always use kerosene products in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines and safety precautions.

Kerosene has a wide range of uses, including:

  • Heating fuel: Kerosene is commonly used as a heating fuel in portable heaters and stoves, particularly in regions where natural gas or electricity may not be readily available.
  • Jet fuel: A specific type of kerosene known as Jet A-1 fuel is used as aviation fuel in jet engines. It is one of the primary fuels for commercial and military aircraft.
  • Solvent: Kerosene is used as a solvent in certain industrial applications, such as cleaning agents and paint thinners.
  • Portable Energy Source: Kerosene is a liquid fuel, which makes it easy to transport and store in containers. This portability makes it ideal for use in remote or off-grid areas where access to other energy sources might be limited.
