Product Overview
n-Hexane 99% for synthesis is a high-purity, non-polar solvent widely used in laboratory settings for its excellent dissolving properties. This colorless liquid is a key component in organic chemistry due to its low polarity, making it ideal for extracting non-polar compounds, purifying samples, and serving as a mobile phase in chromatography. Its high evaporation rate ensures quick drying, reducing processing time in experiments. The synthesis grade guarantees minimal impurities, ensuring reliable and reproducible results in sensitive applications. With a boiling point of around 69°C, n-Hexane is stable under standard lab conditions, making it a versatile choice for various analytical and preparative procedures. Its compatibility with a wide range of organic solvents further enhances its utility in multi-step reactions. This product is packaged in high-quality, leak-proof containers to maintain purity and prevent contamination during storage and handling.
