Distillates
What Are Distillates?
Distillates are a category of refined petroleum products produced through the fractional distillation of crude oil. They include a range of hydrocarbons with medium boiling points, typically between 300°F and 700°F (150°C – 370°C), making them ideal for fuels, industrial processes, and chemical feedstocks.
Distillates can vary in composition and are classified into several grades, including diesel fuel, kerosene, jet fuel, heating oil, and light cycle oils. These products are widely used across industries for combustion, lubrication, and manufacturing applications. Altiras Fuels is a bulk distillates distributor.
