Lamp oil -

For use in lamps and torches for indoors and outdoors.

Application

The high-purity, paraffinic lamp oil not only provides particularly bright and long-lasting illumination for oil candles, oil lamps and torches indoors and outdoors but is also soot-free combustion compared to naphthenic products. The de-aromatization of this hydrocarbon during the manufacturing process allows it to burn almost odorless, so it can be used indoors without any problem. Furthermore, the lamp oil from chemiekontor.de can be used in camping stoves based on petroleum and as a lighting aid for charcoal or wood briquettes and as a fireplace lighter. It is the ideal companion for camping, trekking, leisure and indispensable in professional catering.

Precautions

Wash hands and other exposed body parts with mild soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking and when leaving the workplace. Provide process area with good ventilation to prevent formation of vapors. Do not expose to open flames. Do not smoke. Use only non-sparking tools. Avoid inhalation of dust/fume/gas/mist/vapor/aerosol. Use only outdoors or in well-ventilated areas. Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after use.

Further information

Before high purity paraffinic lamp oils became widely used, as fractionation and purification of petroleum derivatives improved, mainly biogenic fuels were used. For centuries, various vegetable oils, such as sesame or cotton oil, were used. For a long time, animal oils and fats, such as oil of tran, were also used as a source of light and heat. It was only with petroleum from Standard Oil, the empire of John D. Rockefeller, that pure petroleum derivatives were used as lamp oil on a large scale for the first time. 

Storage

Store only in the original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container closed when not in use. Avoid direct sunlight.
