Product Features

n-Nonane is manufactured using advanced fractionation and purification technologies, ensuring consistent quality and precise boiling characteristics. The product features excellent solvency for non-polar compounds with a boiling point of 150-151°C, providing balanced evaporation characteristics between n-Octane (126°C) and n-Decane (174°C). Its molecular weight of 128.26 g/mol offers optimal solvency for a wide range of organic compounds while maintaining manageable handling properties. The moderate vapor pressure (4.5 mmHg at 25°C) reduces evaporative losses compared to lighter alkanes while allowing easier removal than heavier alternatives.

FAQ

What are the key advantages of n-Nonane compared to other alkane solvents?

n-Nonane occupies a unique position in the alkane series, offering balanced properties between lighter and heavier homologs. With a boiling point of 151°C, it provides slower evaporation than n-Heptane or n-Octane for extended processing time, yet remains more easily removable than n-Decane or higher alkanes. This balance makes it ideal for applications requiring controlled solvent evaporation and moderate processing temperatures.

What purity grades are available for n-Nonane and their typical applications?

The 98% grade is suitable for most industrial applications including solvent formulations and general synthesis. The 99% grade provides higher purity for sensitive applications such as pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis, analytical reference standards, and specialty chemical production. Research-grade material (99.5%+) is available for advanced applications requiring exceptional purity, including physical property studies and high-precision analytical work.

Can n-Nonane be used in food-contact applications?

Food-grade n-Nonane meeting specific purity requirements may be suitable for certain indirect food contact applications such as extraction solvents, subject to compliance with relevant regulations. Our food-grade variant (available upon request) meets strict specifications including controlled aromatic content, sulfur compounds, and non-volatile residues. Certification and documentation for regulatory compliance can be provided based on specific application requirements.
