Description

Hexane CAS NO 68476-44-8 is a high-purity, highly volatile organic solvent consisting primarily of n-hexane isomers. This product is valued for its excellent solvency power, low boiling point, and narrow distillation range, making it a critical processing agent in numerous industrial sectors. It is an essential material for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries requiring a reliable, consistent solvent for extraction and reaction processes.

Application

• Oilseed Extraction: Primary solvent for extracting vegetable oils from soybeans, cottonseed, and other oil-bearing materials.
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Used as a reaction medium and for the extraction of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and botanicals.
• Polymer & Adhesive Production: Key solvent in the formulation of glues, adhesives, and for the polymerization of polyolefins.
• Laboratory & Analytical Chemistry: Serves as a mobile phase in chromatography and a general-purpose solvent for sample preparation.
• Industrial Cleaning & Degreasing: Effective agent for cleaning metal parts and precision equipment due to its fast evaporation.
• Chemical Synthesis: Utilized as a non-polar solvent for various organic synthesis and purification processes.
