It is commonly used for extraction of vegetable oil from seeds and crops, it provides high efficiency and high yield of oil.
Offers good solubility for several industrial operations which enables the dissolution and blending of materials.
Used in the formulation of an adhesive system by increasing its viscosity and improving bonding characteristics.
Promotes higher bond strength and quick setting, thus improving the performance and reliability of adhesive products.
Used as a cleaner for machinery and electronics parts since it has the ability to clean oils and greases.
It is used in the rubber and polymer industries to dissolve rubber compounds and polymers to combine them.
Play a crucial role in maintaining standardization and quality of the rubber products and polymer-based materials.
N-Hexane is normally contained in metal drums, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers, or bulk tanks to avoid spillage and to maintain safety measures.
