Can Gasoline Be Used for Waterproofing?
1 Answers
Gasoline can be used for waterproofing. The English name for gasoline is 'gasoline' or 'gas' (American English), also known as 'petrol' (British English). It is a volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture derived from the distillation or cracking of petroleum, primarily used as fuel for spark-ignited internal combustion engines. It mainly consists of organic compounds obtained from crude oil distillation and various additives. The octane rating of gasoline measures the anti-knock properties of a specific gasoline mixture (which can cause knocking and reduce the efficiency of reciprocating engines). Depending on the octane rating, gasoline can be classified into several grades. Other chemicals are often added to gasoline to improve chemical stability and other performance characteristics, control corrosiveness, and maintain the cleanliness of the fuel system.
