(Kero Blue) Kerosene, also known as paraffin, is a versatile liquid used for various purposes such as lighting, heating, and cleaning. It is a clear or slightly blue liquid with excellent energy efficiency and clean-burning properties. Kerosene is widely used in household and industrial settings, making it a popular choice for heating systems, lamps, and even cleaning solutions.

Common Uses of Kerosene (KERO BLUE)

1. Fuel for Heating and Lighting: Kerosene is most commonly used as a fuel in kerosene heaters, stoves, lamps, and even refrigeration units. Its high energy value and efficient burning make it an ideal choice for home heating and lighting. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using kerosene for heating or lighting to ensure safety.
2. Cleaning Solvent: Kerosene serves as a general-purpose degreaser and cleaning solvent, often used in workshops to clean mechanical parts. It is also effective for cleaning motorcycle chains by removing old lubricant, and it can clean surfaces like glass and paint by removing glue or stickers. Additionally, kerosene can be used to clean candle wax from various surfaces.
3. Paint Manufacturing: In the paint industry, kerosene is used in paint formulations that require a slow-evaporating solvent. Its aliphatic properties make it a useful component in producing certain types of paints.
4. Insecticide Sprays: Kerosene acts as a base solvent and diluent in insecticide sprays, making it useful in agriculture and pest control applications.

Note: Clear kerosene is also available for purchase. For bulk orders, industrial customers in New Zealand are encouraged to download the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to understand proper usage and handling instructions.
