JP-4
Jet B with the addition of corrosion inhibitors and anti-icing additives.
JP-5
JP-5 is a high flash point kerosene making it less likely to explode if hit with small arms fire.
JP-8
Jet A-1 with the addition of corrosion inhibitors and anti-icing additives.
Kerosene fuels are part of the chemical class of liquid complex carbon hydroxides. In general, the composition is a mix of 8 to 20 alkanes, depending on the type (the lower the flash point the lower the alkane number of the average composition of the kerosene type)
