Product Description of Tert-Butyl Hydroperoxide CAS#75-91-2
Hexane, with the molecular formula C₆H₁₄ and a molecular weight of 86.2, is a straight-chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon obtained through the cracking and fractionation of crude oil. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a gasoline-like odor. Hexane has a boiling point of 68.95°C, a vapor density of 2.97 (air = 1), and is nearly insoluble in water but readily soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform, ether, and ethanol.
As an effective organic solvent, it is widely used in the production of rubber, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, footwear, leather, textiles, furniture, and paints. It is also commonly applied as a diluent in adhesive manufacturing and as an organic cleaning agent. Proper handling is required due to potential health risks associated with prolonged exposure.
