N-Heptane

N-Heptane is a high-purity, colorless transparent linear alkane solvent, essential as an important organic solvent and reaction medium across multiple industrial sectors. Its simple, highly symmetrical molecular structure is free of aromatics and olefins, offering moderate volatility and excellent solvency power, making it particularly suitable for applications demanding strict solvent purity. It serves not only as a key solvent in coatings, inks, and adhesive formulations but also as the standard reference material for octane rating determination, and as a crucial extraction solvent and reaction medium in pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. Our high-purity grade ensures consistent performance and reliable quality in demanding applications, guaranteeing optimal results for your processes.

Key Applications

• Coatings & Inks: As a volatile solvent to adjust drying speed and leveling
• Adhesives: Used as solvent for rubber-based and pressure-sensitive adhesives
• Pharmaceutical Industry: As extraction solvent and synthesis reaction medium
• Analytical Chemistry: As standard solvent and mobile phase for gas chromatography
• Rubber Industry: For rubber dissolution and processing
• Octane Rating: As reference fuel for gasoline octane rating determination (RON=0)

The main detailed uses of the product

Industrial Flooring & Coatings

Widely used in high-performance epoxy floorings for factories, warehouses, and commercial spaces. It provides good leveling, a durable surface resistant to abrasion and chemicals, and a manageable pot life for application.
Adhesive & Coating Formulations

Serves as a fast-evaporating solvent in rubber cements, adhesives, and specialty coatings. It controls viscosity and drying speed, ensuring strong bonding.
Pharmaceutical Applications

Functions as a non-reactive, stable carrier oil for fat-soluble active ingredients in softgel capsules and topical formulations, enhancing bioavailability and patient compliance.
Pharmaceutical Intermediates

Serves as a building block in the synthesis of certain drugs and agrochemicals.

Why Choose Our N-Heptane?

In a market where high purity, consistency, and safety are paramount for solvents, our high-purity N-Heptane stands out. Our guaranteed high-purity grade is engineered to deliver superior performance for industries ranging from fine chemicals to high-end analytics. Here’s why it is the intelligent choice:

1. Unparalleled Purity & Batch-to-Batch Consistency

Our N-Heptane undergoes precise fractionation and purification, resulting in exceptionally low levels of aromatics, olefins, and sulfur, meeting stringent pharmacopoeia and reagent-grade standards. This exceptional purity ensures your reaction medium or extraction process is free from interference, leading to higher yields, purer products, and more reliable analytical data.

2. Superior Solvency Power & Ideal Volatility

As a linear alkane solvent, N-Heptane offers excellent dissolving power for non-polar to moderately polar substances, with a moderate evaporation rate. This prevents film defects caused by overly rapid drying and avoids production delays from slow drying, making it the ideal choice for balancing solvency and process performance.

3. Broad Safety Profile & Regulatory Compliance

Compared to aromatic solvents like benzene or toluene, N-Heptane has relatively low toxicity and contains no restricted aromatic compounds. It helps you formulate safer, more environmentally friendly products and easily comply with increasingly stringent global chemical regulations such as REACH and VOC limits.

4. Versatility & Critical Role Across Multiple Sectors

This product is more than just a solvent; it is a critical material in multiple industries. Its value is demonstrated in:

Chemical Manufacturing: As a high-demand reaction and extraction medium.

Quality Control: As a reference standard for precision instruments like gas chromatography.

Energy Sector: As the global standard reference for determining gasoline anti-knock properties (octane rating).

Adhesion & Coating: Providing controlled volatility and solvency to optimize product performance.

5. Stable Supply from a Reliable Partner

We understand the critical importance of continuous, stable supply for your production processes. Backed by integrated petrochemical industry support and a rigorous quality control system, we ensure consistent quality across every batch and offer flexible delivery options tailored to your needs, making us your trustworthy long-term partner.
