Description

Product Overview

n-Hexane at 50% min. assay is tested against ASTM and EN ISO methods for density, distillation range, benzene content, and corrosion properties, with strict benzene (≤100 wt ppm) and sulphur (≤1 mg/kg) limits. It is commonly supplied as a 45–50% mixed hexane fraction — referred to in the trade as extraction solvent oil — for oilseed leaching, alongside use in adhesive dilution and crude natural-product extraction.
