Petroleum ether 30-40 is a low-boiling-point hydrocarbon solvent blend used primarily for extracting non-polar compounds in laboratories, such as lipids, essential oils, and pigments, as well as a cleaning agent for residues. It consists of aliphatic hydrocarbons with a boiling range of 30–40°C and is highly flammable. CAS 64742-49-0, stored at ambient conditions, requires careful handling due to its volatile and hazardous nature.
