Description

Application
n-Hexane extracts vegetable oils from crops like soybeans serves as a cleaning agent in printing textiles and adhesives and acts as a lab reagent for chromatography and organic synthesis.

Purpose
Its primary purpose is as a nonpolar solvent for extraction purification and industrial degreasing valued for its low cost and effectiveness despite neurotoxicity risks requiring ventilation.

General Description
n-Hexane (CH) is a colorless highly flammable liquid alkane with a mild gasoline-like odor. It is nonpolar volatile and widely used as a solvent derived from petroleum.
