N-Hexane

N-Hexane is a straight-chain alkane hydrocarbon with the formula C6H14. It is a volatile, colorless liquid with a faint petroleum-like odor. It is non-polar and has excellent solvency power for a wide range of non-polar substances, particularly oils, fats, and many polymers. Its relatively low boiling point makes it ideal for extraction processes and as a volatile solvent in adhesives and coatings.
