Description

Hexane CAS NO 110-54-3 is a straight-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent, primarily consisting of n-hexane isomers. It is valued for its excellent solvency power, low boiling point, and high volatility, making it a critical processing agent in numerous industrial sectors. This solvent is essential for manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries requiring efficient extraction and reaction media.

Application

• Oilseed Extraction: The primary industrial use, serving as a solvent to extract vegetable oils from soybeans, cottonseed, and other oil-bearing materials.
• Pharmaceutical Processing: Used as a reaction medium and for the extraction of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and natural products.
• Adhesive & Polymer Manufacturing: A key component in formulations for glues, sealants, and as a polymerization medium for synthetic rubbers and plastics.
• Laboratory & Analytical Chemistry: Employed as a low-polarity eluent in chromatography and for general laboratory extractions and cleaning.
• Industrial Cleaning & Degreasing: Effective for cleaning metal parts, precision instruments, and electronic components due to its ability to dissolve oils and greases.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile solvent for a wide range of organic reactions and as a diluent in specialty chemical formulations.

Quality Control

Our Hexane is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, composition, and physical properties. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing key parameters such as n-hexane content, boiling range, and non-volatile residue. Our quality commitment supports compliance with relevant industry standards for extraction and synthesis applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain purity. Store away from strong oxidizing agents.
