No systematic studies have been reported correlating t h e physical properties of brominated kerosene with t h e degree of bromination. T h e present paper represents such a study for a kerosene fraction boiling between 180 and 220°C obtained from a Kuwait oil field and having a low aromatic content (high furfural miscibility temperature). This kerosene was brominated from 6.5 to 36% bromine content in steps of approximately 0.2 mol of bromine. T h e products have been checked for purity by gas chromatography and characterized by their ir, uv, and nmr spectra. T h e measurements comprise elementary analysis, refractive index, surface tension, furfural point, kinematic viscosity, specific gravity, and molecular weight. These data are correlated with t h e degree of bromination and t h e average molecular composition obtained.
