    Hexane is a colorless liquid that is produced from purified naphtha streams in oil refineries. It has a boiling point between 63-70°C and is non-polar and insoluble in water. Hexane is commonly used as a solvent to extract oils from plants and vegetables for use in other products, as well as a cleaning solvent and industrial degreaser.

    HEXANE (FOOD GRADE)

    (IS 3470:2002)

    HEXANE(FOOD GRADE)
    FG Hexane is produced in the refineries
    from special cut Naphtha where the
    Hexane rich stream is extracted and
    purified to meet the required specification.

    PROPERTIES
    The molecular formula of hexane is C6H14.
    It is mostly a colorless liquid.
    It has a melting point of roughly -139.54F (95.3C) and
    The boiling point is 154.04F (67.8C).
    It has a molar mass of 86.18 grams per mole
    (g/mol).
    It is also a non-polar molecule, meaning that it
    is not soluble in water.

    HEXANE (IS 3470:2002)


    This standard prescribes the requirment
    and method of sampling and test for
    hexane

    TEST

    SPECIFICATION

    Density @ 20C, g/ml

    0.660-0.687

    Non-volatile Matter, g/100 ml

    Max. 0.0005

    Reaction of Non-Volatile Residue

    Neutral to methyl orange

    Distillation
    IBP, C
    Distilled between 64-70C

    Min. 63
    Min. 95

    DENSITY (P:16)
    The importance of density in fuel handling
    is for the purpose of bulk oil measurment.
    i.e obtaining weight from measured
    volume.

    Non volatile Residue (P:64)


    This test method describes the analytical
    measurement of residual matter in
    solvents that are intended to be 100 %
    volatile.
    The presence of any residue may affect
    the product quality or efficiency of the
    process.

    Reaction of NVR
    This test method prescribes the test for
    determining the reaction of non-volatile
    residue.

    DISTILLATION (P:18)
    Distillation Characteristics of petroleum
    product are indicative of performance in
    their intended application.
    The fuel voltality and ease of vaporization
    at different temperatures are determined
    by distillation.

    USES
    The most excellent use of hexane is its
    function as a solvent.
    Many types of plants and vegetables are
    treated with hexane in order to extract
    their oils and proteins for use in other
    products.
    Hexane is also used as a cleaning solvent
    and as an industrial degreaser.
