FAQs

1. What is the primary application of Hexane 65-70°C (95%) in laboratories?

Hexane is primarily used as a non-polar solvent for various laboratory applications including extractions, chromatography (especially normal-phase silica gel chromatography), and as a reaction medium where a non-polar environment is required.

2. How does the “Fract From Pet” (fractionated from petroleum) impact its quality?

Fractionation from petroleum ensures a consistent and defined boiling range, which indicates a specific hydrocarbon composition. This consistency is crucial for reproducible results in sensitive analytical and synthetic procedures, providing reliability in laboratory settings.

3. Is this Hexane compatible with all types of plastic labware?

Hexane is a strong non-polar solvent and can interact with certain plastics, potentially causing swelling or dissolution. It is generally recommended to use glass labware or specific solvent-resistant plastics like PTFE or FEP for storage and handling to prevent contamination or damage.

4. What are the recommended storage conditions for this Hexane?

Hexane should be stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and strong oxidizers. Given its flammability, proper ventilation and storage in a designated flammable liquid cabinet are essential.

5. Are there any alternatives to Hexane for specific non-polar solvent applications?

Depending on the specific application, alternatives might include heptane, cyclohexane, or other light petroleum ethers. The choice depends on factors like boiling point, solvency power, and selectivity required for the particular process. Always consider the specific experimental needs.
