General

Our Heptane 94-104 (Mixed Isomers) is an odourless, transparent and flammable liquid. It has a mixture of isomers that allow it to predictably evaporate making it a preferred choice in adhesive formulations, surface preparation, and industrial cleaning, where effective, fast-drying solutions are needed.

High-Quality Formulation: We use only carefully sourced Heptane to ensure our customers can safely use it for any application.

Manufactured in the UK: Our Heptane 94-104 (Mixed Isomers) is sourced and bottled using non-toxic, chemical-resistant bottles, providing reliable and trusted quality to our customers.

Glass Winchester Bottle: Available in 500ml, 1L and 2.5L pack sizes. Our Glass Winchester bottles can store chemicals that may be sensitive to light due to filtering potentially harmful UV rays. Bottles are durable, versatile and perfect for storing products in the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Frequent Uses

Catalyst Preparation
Utilised in the preparation of catalysts used in various chemical reactions. This application is particularly important in petrochemical processes where catalysts play a key role in efficiency and yield.

Gas Chromatography
Serves as a solvent and standard in Gas Chromatography applications due to its well-defined boiling point, providing consistent separation of compounds.

Octane Rating Standard
Widely used as a primary reference standard to determine the knock rating of carburettor fuels, providing a benchmark in fuel performance testing.

Specialist Coatings and Adhesives
Essential in formulating high-performance coatings and adhesives. The solvent helps improve adhesion to various substrates and can also influence drying times.
