N-Hexane

Name: N-Hexane
SKU: 0

N-Hexane, with the chemical formula C₆H₁₄, is a straight-chain alkane solvent. It appears as a colorless transparent liquid with a slight petroleum-like odor. It features high volatility, low boiling point and good solvency power, being insoluble in water but miscible with most organic solvents. n-Hexane exhibits excellent solubility for non-polar substances and is widely used in vegetable oil extraction, adhesives, coatings and other fields, but special attention must be paid to its toxicity and flammability.
