Chemical N-HEXANE- CH3(CH2)4CH3
N-Hexane is a hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C6H14. Hexane is an important component of gasoline. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature, with a boiling point of 50-70oC. n-Hexane is a non-polar, volatile solvent with a gasoline-like odor. It is widely used because it is affordable, relatively safe, and largely inert to other substances.

1. Properties:
– Molecular formula: C6H14
– Molecular mass: 86.18 g/mol
– Appearance: Colorless liquid – Density: 0.655 g/cm3 – Freezing point: -95oC – Boiling point: 69oC – Flash point: -23.3oC – Spontaneous ignition point: 233.9oC – Solubility in water at 20oC: 13 mg/l – Vapor pressure: 17 kPa (at 20oC) – Viscosity: 0.294cp (at 20oC)
2. Preparation: N-Hexane is mainly obtained from petroleum, the exact composition of the fraction depends mainly on the source of the oil and the refining. The industrial product (usually contains about 50% of the straight form, the rest are isomers such as 2-MP, 3-MP, MCP, 2,2-dimethylbutane, neohexane) is distilled at a boiling point of 65-70oC
Uses / Applications:
3. Application:
– Extraction of vegetable oils: N-Hexane is used as a solvent for extracting vegetable oils. They help narrow the distillation range from extracted oils, with low aromatic content to eliminate unnecessary aromatic color content. Therefore, they are used as solvents for extracting many types of vegetable oils such as: soybean oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, palm oil and linseed oil. – Glue and adhesive tape: Large amounts of hexane are used as a quick-drying adhesive. Hexane is used as a basic solvent in cement glue formulas, controlling viscosity in the production of glue and cement. – Printing ink: Hexane is used as a diluent for dry printing ink. – Coatings: Hexane can be used in combination with many other solvents in the production of paints, adhesives and varnishes. They are also used in extraction compounds. – Rubber industry: Hexane acts as a liquid solution to regulate the curing speed of rubber products. Because they have a fast evaporation rate, they are widely used in the rubber production process. – Other industries: + Intermediate polymerization process between poly ethylene and polymers other than plastics. + Cleaning solvent. + Solvent for wax systems. + Degreasing solvent. + Textile detergent
