Discover the premium quality Hexanes, Reagent, ACS, a carefully formulated blend of hexane isomers alongside methylcyclopentane. This colorless liquid serves as a highly efficient non-polar solvent, widely recognized for its economical pricing, minimal reactivity, and relative safety. Its versatile applications include use in specialized adhesives, degreasing agents, and as a solvent for extracting cooking oil from seeds.
In laboratories, Hexanes are invaluable for removing or extracting oil and grease contaminants from soil and water samples in preparation for analysis. With a unique stability that prevents easy deprotonation, it is particularly effective in reactions that involve extremely strong bases, making it a go-to solvent for a range of applications.
As an ACS (American Chemical Society) grade reagent, our Hexanes meet rigorous industry standards, ensuring the utmost quality and purity. This specification not only establishes it as a benchmark for other substances but also guarantees compliance with stringent regulatory requirements.
