n-Hexane 95% / 99% CAS No. 110-54-3 Industrial & Food Grade
This high-purity n-Hexane, available in 95% and 99% concentrations, is produced via advanced fractionation technology from natural gas liquids or petroleum refining streams. It features excellent solvency power, rapid evaporation rate, and exceptional selectivity for oils and fats. As a premier aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent, it is widely used in edible oil extraction, industrial cleaning, and laboratory applications. Its high purity and consistent performance ensure optimal results in critical processes requiring precise solvent properties. Each batch is rigorously tested using GC analysis to ensure consistent quality meeting industrial and food-grade standards.
Scope of Application
· Used as the primary solvent in edible oil extraction from soybeans, sunflower seeds, canola, and other oilseeds;
· Acts as a cleaning agent in the electronics industry for removing flux, oils, and contaminants from components;
· Functions as a solvent in adhesive formulations, particularly for rubber-based adhesives and sealants;
· Widely applied in the pharmaceutical industry for extraction of active ingredients and as a reaction medium;
· Serves as a laboratory solvent for chromatography, recrystallization, and chemical synthesis;
· Used in textile processing for degreasing and spot cleaning operations;
· Acts as a diluent in polymerization reactions and as a carrier in industrial coatings.
Product Features
n-Hexane is manufactured using continuous fractionation and hydrotreating technologies, ensuring consistent quality and precise boiling range control. The product features exceptional solvency for non-polar compounds including vegetable oils, fats, and waxes, with a boiling point range of 65-69°C enabling efficient recovery and removal. Its narrow boiling range and high purity ensure consistent performance in critical extraction processes. The food-grade variant meets stringent standards for edible oil extraction with controlled benzene and sulfur content. Available in multiple purity grades to suit different application requirements, from industrial cleaning to food processing. Advanced GC analysis is employed to guarantee product purity and precise hydrocarbon composition, with strict control over aromatic content (<0.1%) and non-volatile residues.
