N-Hexane
99%
It is mainly used in organic synthesis, edible oil extraction solvents and extractants, such as cleaning in the electronics industry, as an extractant in the pharmaceutical industry, and can also be used as a solvent for rubber and coatings.
1. Product Introduction
Hexane, chemical formula C6H14, is the sixth member of alkanes. Hexane is a commonly used non-polar organic solvent with a gasoline smell and is widely used in chromatography. As a good organic solvent, n-hexane is widely used in chemical organic synthesis, cleaning and decontamination of mechanical equipment surfaces, etc. However, it has certain toxicity and can enter the human body through the respiratory tract, skin, etc. Long-term contact can cause chronic poisoning symptoms such as headache, dizziness, fatigue, numbness of limbs, etc., and severe cases can cause fainting, loss of consciousness, and even death.

4. Product use
N-hexane is an organic solvent with good viscosity. It is often used in rubber food, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, shoemaking, tape, ball making, grinding, leather, textiles, furniture, paint industry, or as a dilution, cleaning solvent, or viscose. In addition, it can be used as a solvent for extracting seed oil (such as soybean oil, cottonseed oil, flax, peanut, safflower oil, etc.); it can also be used as a raw material for making polymers; such as polypropylene and polyethylene.
5. Storage and transportation
Sealed packaging with painted iron barrels or tank trucks. Storage should be placed in a dry and cool place, and the warehouse should have ventilation facilities to avoid contact with water to prevent hydrolysis. Transportation should comply with the relevant regulations of the People's Republic of China on the transportation of hazardous chemicals by road and rail.
