Normal Hexane Supply & Sourcing Guide
Normal hexane can refer to a high-purity n-hexane product or a commercial hexane cut containing other C6 hydrocarbons. The RFQ should state the intended extraction, laboratory or industrial use and define n-hexane content, distillation range, benzene, sulphur, water, residue and appearance.
Specification checklist for the RFQ
- n-Hexane purity or commercial C6 composition
- Initial/final boiling point and distillation range
- Benzene, sulphur, water and non-volatile residue
- Density, colour and application-specific limits
Applications and end-use context
- Vegetable-oil extraction where permitted
- Adhesive and polymer processing
- Industrial cleaning and formulation
- Laboratory or specialty use for higher purity grades
Delivery structure and logistics
Normal hexane is highly flammable and transport classification, approved packaging, tank compatibility, ventilation, earthing, documentation and destination rules must be confirmed. Bulk, ISO tank and drum options differ in minimum quantity, contamination control and delivered cost.
Prices shown on the site are public market references only. An executable indication depends on specification, origin, destination, Incoterm, freight, insurance and payment structure.
Documents and commercial inputs
- Application-specific specification and SDS
- Recent COA including benzene and distillation
- Dangerous-goods packing and transport details
- Destination permits and inspection requirements
How the inquiry is reviewed
Define product, grade, quantity, destination and timing.
Review specification, documents, logistics assumptions and compliance points.
Where appropriate, summarise possible sourcing or freight routes for the next commercial discussion.
Frequently asked questions
Is commercial hexane always pure n-hexane?
No. Commercial grades can contain several C6 isomers and related hydrocarbons; composition must be checked.
Why is benzene content important?
Buyer specifications and occupational, food-processing or destination regulations may impose strict benzene limits.
