Kerosene (TS-1)

Kerosene TS-1 is a clear or slightly yellowish liquid with a characteristic smell of aromatic hydrocarbons. The main characteristics of TS-1 kerosene are: good volatility to ensure complete combustion; high completeness and heat of combustion for determining the flight range; good pumpability and low temperature properties for feeding into the combustion chamber; low tendency to form deposits; good material compatibility and anti-wear and anti-static properties.

Of all petroleum solvents, it is most widely used in the paint and varnish industry. It is used as a solvent for fatty alkyds, some rubbers (butyl rubber, cyclic rubber), polybutyl methacrylate, epoxy esters, in the preparation of organodispersions, in the dilution of oil varnishes.
