N-Hexane, a crucial organic compound with the molecular formula C6H14 and CAS No. 110-54-3, stands as a cornerstone in numerous industrial and laboratory applications. This straight-chain alkane is a colorless, transparent liquid, often noted for its slight petroleum odor when not entirely pure, and its ease of evaporation.

Derived primarily from the refining of crude oil, industrial-grade N-Hexane is meticulously processed to meet rigorous quality standards, ensuring its suitability for diverse uses where purity and consistency are paramount. It is a major component of petroleum ether and naphtha, naturally occurring within crude petroleum fractions.

As a straight-chain saturated fatty hydrocarbon, N-Hexane exhibits specific physical and chemical properties that make it highly valuable. It boasts a density of approximately 0.660-0.680 g/cm3 at 20°C and a narrow distillation range, typically between 65°C and 70°C. While inherently stable, it forms an explosive mixture with air, with a volume fraction explosive limit of 1.18% to 7.4%, underscoring the importance of proper handling and storage.

Our commitment to quality ensures a product with an N-hexane content of ≥99% (m/m), remarkably low water content (≤100 ppm), and minimal benzene impurities (≤100 ppm), which is vital for sensitive applications. The low levels of non-volatile matter and sulfur further attest to its high purity, making it a preferred choice for industries demanding superior chemical feedstock.

N-Hexane's versatility as a relatively safe, largely unreactive, and easily evaporated non-polar solvent makes it indispensable across various sectors. In the food industry, it is widely utilized for the efficient extraction of cooking oils, such as canola oil and soybean oil, from seeds. Its effectiveness in cleansing and degreasing operations also extends to numerous items, making it a preferred choice for industrial cleaning.

Beyond extraction, N-Hexane plays a significant role in manufacturing. It is a key component in the formulation of adhesives and glues used in footwear, leather goods, and roofing materials. The textile industry also benefits from its properties in various processing stages. In laboratory settings, N-Hexane is a standard for extracting oil and grease contaminants from water and soil samples for analytical purposes. Furthermore, its inert nature means it is employed in chemical synthesis, particularly in reactions involving very strong bases, such as the preparation of organolithiums, and as a non-polar solvent in chromatography applications.

Understanding the critical need for secure and efficient logistics, N-Hexane is available in robust packaging options. We offer galvanized iron drums, each containing 132 kilograms, with approximately 10.56 metric tons per 20-foot FCL. For larger volume requirements, ISO tank packing is available, accommodating up to 21 metric tons per tank. Proper storage is paramount: N-Hexane should be kept in a cool, well-ventilated, and dry area, away from direct sunlight and any heat or ignition sources. Careful handling is always advised, adhering to regulations for toxic substance transport.
