Products Description of Hexane CAS 110-54-3

Hexane, a straight-chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon, has the molecular formula C₆H₁₄ and a molecular weight of 86.2. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic gasoline-like odor. Derived from crude oil through cracking and fractional distillation, hexane has a melting point of -95°C and a boiling point of 68.95°C. Its vapor density is 2.97 (air = 1).

While nearly insoluble in water, hexane dissolves easily in organic solvents such as chloroform, ether, and ethanol. Widely used as an industrial solvent, hexane plays a key role in the manufacturing of rubber, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, footwear, leather, textiles, furniture, and paints. It is also commonly used in adhesives and as an organic cleaning agent.
