Applications of Isohexane in Our Daily Life
When it comes to Isohexane, I believe many chemical workers know it well, but as people who have not been in this industry, they are very strange. In fact, hexane can be found in cleaning and aerosol used in our life. Isohexane is closely related to our life. Now let’s take a look at Isohexane.
Isohexane, also known as dimethylpentane, is a commonly used chemical raw material. Its chemical properties are mainly soluble in ethanol, ether, benzene and other organic solvents. It is precisely with one property that Isohexane is used in various industries.
Here are some examples of Isohexane closely related to our daily life
1. Cleaning industry
Isohexane is an alkane solvent oil. Through hydrofining process, it has the characteristics of low aromaticity, low distillation, narrow process, colorless and non-toxic. In the cleaning agent industry, Isohexane is mainly used for cleaning precision instruments, such as circuit boards, mobile phones and other electronic products, as well as clothing cleaning agents. Isohexane will not be absorbed into the human body through the respiratory tract, skin and gastrointestinal tract, resulting in dizziness and anesthesia.
2. Use of aerosol
Aerosol is a kind of aerosol commodity produced in modern fine chemical industry. It is small, easy to carry, simple to use, and the ejected materials are very fine and evenly distributed, which can give full play to the application effect. Among them, the raw material for making aerosol contains Isohexane.
3. Gas chromatography analysis
Gas chromatography analyzer uses a high-efficiency physical separation technology, which is used in analytical chemistry and combined with appropriate detection means to become chromatographic analysis. The separation principle of chromatography is to separate various substances by using the difference of distribution coefficient, adsorption capacity and other affinity in two phases. Among them, Isohexane is used to detect the gas chromatographic analysis standard.
4. Coating industry
Isohexane is widely used in the paint industry, mainly as an extraction diluent because of its good performance, good solubility and good safety
Through the above introduction to you, you may have a further understanding of Isohexane. In fact, there are many roles that Isohexane plays in our life, which are closely related to our life.
