Description

Application
Solvent- Used for dissolving oils fats and non-polar organic compounds. Chromatography- Component in mobile phases (especially in techniques like Gas Chromatography). Chemical analysis- Used as a reference standard or calibration compound. Fuel research- Studied for combustion and octane rating properties. Extraction processes- Separation of hydrophobic substances.

Purpose
Its main purpose is to serve as a non-polar solvent and reference compound in laboratory and industrial applications.

General Description
2-Methylpentane is a colorless highly volatile non-polar hydrocarbon solvent. It is an isomer of hexane and has low boiling point and low water solubility making it useful in evaporation-based processes.
