essential information

N-hexane, also known as hexane, is a straight chain saturated fatty hydrocarbon obtained by crude oil cracking and distillation, and is a colorless liquid with a weak and distinctive odor. It is volatile, almost insoluble in water, and easily soluble in chloroform, ether, and ethanol. Mainly used as solvents, such as vegetable oil extraction solvents, propylene polymerization solvents, rubber and coating solvents, and pigment diluents. Used for extracting oils and fats from various edible oils and spices such as soybeans, rice bran, and cottonseeds. In addition, n-hexane isomerization is one of the important processes for producing high octane gasoline blending components.

application area 

Mainly used as solvents, reference substances for chromatographic analysis, coating diluents, media for polymerization reactions, etc., it can also be used in organic synthesis.

Packaging, Storage, Transportation, and Safety

Storage precautions
Store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Stay away from sources of fire and heat. The storage temperature should not exceed 29 ℃. Keep the container sealed. It should be stored separately from oxidants and avoid mixing storage. Adopt explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. Prohibit the use of mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to generating sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency response equipment for leaks and suitable containment materials.
Transportation precautions
Transport vehicles should be equipped with corresponding types and quantities of fire-fighting equipment and emergency response equipment for leaks during transportation. It is better to transport in the morning and evening during summer. The tank truck used for transportation should have a grounding chain, and a perforated partition can be installed inside the tank to reduce static electricity generated by vibration. It is strictly prohibited to mix and transport with oxidants, edible chemicals, etc. During transportation, it should be protected from direct sunlight, rain, and high temperatures. When stopping midway, one should stay away from sources of fire, heat, and high temperature areas. The exhaust pipe of the vehicle carrying the item must be equipped with a flame retardant device, and the use of mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to generating sparks for loading and unloading is prohibited. When transporting by road, follow the prescribed route and do not stay in residential or densely populated areas. It is prohibited to slip during railway transportation. It is strictly prohibited to use wooden boats or cement boats for bulk transportation.
