Products Description of Tert-Butyl Hydroperoxide CAS#75-91-2
Hexane, also referred to as n-hexane (note: "hexane" usually denotes the straight-chain isomer in industrial contexts), has a molecular formula of C₆H₁₄ and a molecular weight of 86.2. It is a straight-chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon, produced through the cracking and fractional distillation of crude oil.It appears as a colorless, volatile liquid with a gasoline-like odor. Key physical parameters include a melting point (MP) of -95℃ (corrected for common typo), a boiling point of 68.95℃, and a vapor density of 2.97 (relative to air = 1). It is nearly insoluble in water but readily soluble in chloroform, ether, and ethanol.As a common organic solvent, hexane is widely used in manufacturing processes such as rubber production, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, footwear, leather, textiles, furniture, and coatings. In recent years, it has also been employed as a diluent in adhesive production or as an organic cleaning agent—becoming a major cause of occupational hexane poisoning incidents in China.
