General

What is Hexane? Hexane is an organic solvent with the molecular formula C6H14. It is a colourless liquid with a mild odour and is highly flammable. Hexane, Mixed Isomers 99% is a mixture of several isomers of the alkane, primarily n-hexane, and is commonly used as a solvent in various industrial processes. It is also known by alternate names such as n-Hexane, Hexane Isomers, and Industrial Hexane. Due to its low polarity, it is effective at dissolving nonpolar substances, such as oils, fats, and waxes. Hexane is frequently used in the extraction of vegetable oils, as well as in the cleaning and degreasing of machinery and equipment.
