n-Hexane 95% High Purity Grade

n-Hexane 95% High Purity Grade

The name n-Hexane refers to the unbranched, linear conformation of C 6 H 12 , indicating that branched isomers of hexane are not present. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a petroleum-like aroma.

n-hexane is the solvent of choice for seed and vegetable oil extraction, textiles manufacturing, glue and degreaser formulations, and select cleaning applications.

n-Hexane is the straight chain form of hexane, CAS 110-54-3, with the molecular formula C6H14 and a molecular weight of 86.18. This listing shows a minimum assay of 95.0%. It’s a clear liquid with a hydrocarbon odor, negligible solubility in water, and a flash point of minus 22 °C (minus 7 °F). The specifications on the page also cover water at 0.02% max, residue after evaporation at 0.001% max, sulfur compounds at 0.005% max (as S), titratable acid at 0.0003 meq/g max, and a thiophene test that passes. You’ll find the Safety Data Sheet, Technical Data Sheet, Allergen Statement, BPA Statement, PFAS/PFOS Free Statement, TSE/BSE Declaration and lot Certificates of Analysis under Product Manuals.

People use n-Hexane for seed and vegetable oil extraction, textile manufacturing, glue and degreaser formulations, select cleaning jobs and as a reaction medium. Here’s the catch. Your results depend on the solvent matching your spec, and a missing SDS or COA can stall a whole batch. Hazmat shipping adds one more thing to chase. Documents are available on this page right away, sizes run from 500 ml up to 55 gallons, and hazmat handling is covered end to end. Pick the size that fits, set up Autoship for steady supply, or request a quote for volume. On budget, on time, every time. Request a quote and we’ll take it from there.
