Showing 1–9 of 9 products
n-Hexane
n-Hexane (CAS 110-54-3) offered at 60, 70, 80, 97 and 99% minimum n-hexane content, boiling at 64–70 °C with benzene at 0.01% max. The 60–80% grades serve oilseed extraction; the 97% and 99% grades suit pharmaceutical and polymer work.
Cyclohexane
Cyclohexane (CAS 110-82-7) of 99.9% minimum purity, benzene 50 mg/kg max. The starting material for KA oil in the nylon 6 and nylon 6,6 chain, and a non-aromatic solvent for resins, rubber and coatings. Note its freezing point of 6.5 °C.
Methylcyclohexane
Methylcyclohexane (CAS 108-87-2), 99.5% minimum and typically 99.9%, with toluene 10 ppm max and benzene not detected. Made by hydrogenating toluene, it gives adhesive, coating and extraction users toluene-like solvency without the aromatic ring.
Ethylcyclohexane
Ethylcyclohexane (CAS 1678-91-7) at 99.6% minimum, produced by hydrogenating ethylbenzene, with ethylbenzene capped at 0.5% and water at 0.1%. A slow-evaporating naphthenic solvent boiling near 132 °C, also used in synthesis and fuel research.
n-Heptane
n-Heptane (CAS 142-82-5) at 99% minimum, with total aromatics 50 ppm max and sulphur 1 ppm max; a 97% grade can also be supplied. It sets zero on the octane scale and is the usual lower-toxicity substitute for hexane in pharmaceutical processing.
Isooctane (2,2,4-Trimethylpentane)
Isooctane (2,2,4-trimethylpentane, CAS 540-84-1), a 99.9% grade with 99 wt% minimum content, aromatics 0.02 wt% max and sulphur 5 ppm max. It defines 100 on the octane scale and is a named solvent in fats and oils methods such as peroxide value.
Isohexane
Isohexane (CAS 107-83-5), at least 98% branched C6, mainly 2- and 3-methylpentane, with n-hexane limited to 1.5% and benzene to 1 ppm. A fast-evaporating alternative for adhesive, cleaning and extraction users who need to remove n-hexane exposure.
Petroleum Ether
Petroleum ether (CAS 8032-32-4): a light aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent, mainly pentanes and hexanes, containing no actual ether. Supplied at 99% minimum in a boiling-range cut agreed at order, for crude fat determination, natural product extraction and chromatography.
Solvent Oil (Mineral Turpentine / White Spirit)
A bright, clear petroleum solvent of Pakistani origin, sold as mineral turpentine or white spirit, for thinning alkyd paints and varnishes and for cleaning and degreasing. Aromatics are limited to 8.0 vol % and sulphur to 0.05 wt %, and the doctor test is negative.
