A grade-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) — with the complete hazard classification, handling precautions, and transport information — is supplied with every shipment and available on request. Confirm all safety and regulatory details against the SDS for your specific grade.
Request SDS →Kerosene (CAS 8008-20-6) is a refined middle-distillate petroleum fraction. It is used as a combustion fuel – including kerosene-type jet fuel, heating fuel, and lamp/lighting oil – and as an industrial solvent for degreasing and parts cleaning. It also serves as a cutting and metalworking fluid, as a process diluent, and as an inert storage medium for reactive alkali metals.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is kerosene used for?
Kerosene (CAS 8008-20-6) is a refined middle-distillate petroleum fraction used as kerosene-type jet fuel, heating fuel, and lamp/lighting oil, and industrially as a degreasing and parts-cleaning solvent. It also serves as a cutting/metalworking fluid, a process diluent, and an inert storage medium for reactive alkali metals. RawSource supplies it in bulk to industrial and manufacturing accounts.
Is WD-40 just kerosene?
No. WD-40 is a proprietary multi-component formulation; kerosene is a single refined petroleum distillate cut (CAS 8008-20-6). Kerosene is used on its own as a solvent, fuel, and carrier rather than as a finished branded product.
What is the formula for kerosene?
Kerosene has no single molecular formula because it is a petroleum distillate fraction, a mixture of hydrocarbons typically in the C9-C16 range rather than a pure compound. It is identified by CAS 8008-20-6 and specified by distillation range and physical properties on the CoA.
What is the HS code for kerosene?
Kerosene falls under HS subheading 2710.19 — petroleum oils (other than crude), >=70% petroleum oils, other (including kerosene). Confirm the exact statistical suffix for your destination with your customs broker. Identity and specification data accompany every shipment.
How is bulk kerosene supplied and priced?
It is available in drums, totes, and larger bulk quantities for industrial buyers. Pricing tracks refined-distillate markets and order volume, so we quote per request rather than list a fixed price; contact us for current bulk pricing, MOQ, and lead time. An SDS and CoA are provided with each order.
