Nonane

It is a colorless, flammable liquid, occurring primarily in the component of the petroleum distillate fraction commonly called kerosene, which is used as a heating, tractor, and jet fuel.

[4] Nonane is also used as a solvent, distillation chaser, fuel additive, and a component in biodegradable detergents.

Nonane undergoes combustion reactions that are similar to other alkanes.

In the presence of sufficient oxygen, nonane burns to form water and carbon dioxide.

When insufficient oxygen is available for complete combustion, the burning products include carbon monoxide.

NFPA 704 four-colored diamond Health 0: Exposure under fire conditions would offer no hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible material. E.g. sodium chloride Flammability 3: Liquids and solids that can be ignited under almost all ambient temperature conditions. Flash point between 23 and 38 °C (73 and 100 °F). E.g. gasoline Instability 0: Normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and is not reactive with water. E.g. liquid nitrogen Special hazards (white): no code
