Hexane Technical Grade 99%
Hexane Technical Grade 99% is primarily used as a versatile non-polar solvent in numerous industrial and laboratory applications, valued for its high purity, low boiling point, and rapid evaporation rate. Its main uses include extraction, cleaning, and as a component in various products.
Key Industrial and Lab Applications
Extraction & Manufacturing: Widely used to extract vegetable oils, create adhesives/sealants, and produce paints, inks, and coatings.
Cleaning & Processing: Serves as a degreaser for machinery, and a solvent in rubber and textile manufacturing.
Laboratory & Pharma: Employed as a standard non-polar solvent for chromatography (HPLC) and in pharmaceutical synthesis.
Environmental Testing: Used to measure “hexane extractable material” (HEM) in water and soil samples.
Key Applications of 99% Technical Hexane:
Industrial Cleaning & Degreasing: Used as a solvent to remove grease, oil, and contaminants from machinery, automotive, and electronic parts due to its rapid evaporation.
Adhesive & Sealant Manufacturing: Functions as a solvent and carrier in the production of rubber cements, glues, and leather products.
Laboratory Use: High-purity 99% grade is used in chromatography (HPLC),, solvent extraction, and as a reagent for organic synthesis.
Paints & Coatings: Acts as a thinner and fast-drying solvent in varnish and paint formulations.
Pharmaceutical Production: Utilized in extracting specific active compounds and in manufacturing, such as for tablet molds.
Textile & Printing: Employed to remove oils from fibers and in ink formulations.

Important Safety Information:
Hexane is highly flammable and toxic. It should only be used in well-ventilated areas, ideally with appropriate PPE to prevent exposure to vapors. It is a suspected neurotoxin and can cause long-term health issues if used without proper precautions.
In industry, hexanes are used in the formulation of:
- glues for shoes
- leather products
- roofing.
They are also used to extract cooking oils (such as canola oil or soy oil) from seeds, for cleansing and degreasing a variety of items, and in textile manufacturing.
