KERO CLEAR

Description

Kerosene, also known as paraffin or lamp oil, is a versatile, clear or blue liquid primarily used as a fuel for lighting and heating. It is widely recognized for its high energy value and clean-burning properties, making it ideal for various home and industrial applications. It is also commonly used as a solvent in many situations where a slow-evaporating, low-cost cleaner is required.

Common Uses of Kerosene (KERO CLEAR)

  • Heating and Lighting: Kerosene is a popular fuel for kerosene heaters, stoves, lamps, and refrigeration units. It is a clean-burning fuel that produces a steady flame when used in vaporization burners and is perfect for home heating and lighting.
  • Cleaning and Degreasing: Kerosene works as an effective solvent for cleaning grease, dirt, and old lubricants from machinery parts, motorcycle chains, and workshop tools. It is frequently used as a general-purpose degreaser in industrial settings.
  • Removing Residue: It can remove sticky substances like candle wax, old glue, and stickers from untinted glass and painted surfaces without causing damage.
  • Paint and Coatings: Kerosene is used in the formulation of slow-evaporating paints and coatings, providing excellent results when a durable, aliphatic solvent is needed.
  • Insecticide Sprays: Kerosene serves as a base solvent and diluent in many insecticide sprays, helping to evenly distribute the active ingredients across surfaces.
