N HEXANE

Product Introduction

N HEXANE, a product of GOYAL FINEFAB PVT. LTD., is a colorless and highly volatile liquid primarily utilized in the paints and coatings industry. Its excellent solvency properties make it an ideal choice for thinning paints, varnishes, and coatings, enhancing their application properties. With a molecular weight of 86.18 g/mol and a low flash point, N HEXANE is critical in various industrial processes, particularly in regions like Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, where the demand for effective and efficient solvents is high. Kivi Chemicals supplies N HEXANE to meet the growing needs of manufacturers and industrial users in East Africa, ensuring compliance with local chemical safety regulations.

Detailed Product Overview

N HEXANE is a straight-chain alkane with the chemical formula C6H14. It is characterized by its low viscosity (0.36 cP at 25 °C) and high volatility, making it a preferred solvent in many industrial applications. This chemical is largely used in the formulation of paints and coatings, where it acts as a solvent to dissolve resins and other components, allowing for a smooth application and finish. N HEXANE's properties, such as its low density (0.6548 g/cm³) and high vapor pressure (160 mmHg at 20 °C), contribute to its effectiveness in various extraction processes, including the extraction of oils and fats. The industrial grade of N HEXANE ensures that it meets the rigorous demands of manufacturing processes while adhering to safety standards. Kivi Chemicals provides this product in a 200-liter drum, ensuring convenient handling and storage for industrial users.

Applications & Uses

Benefits & Advantages

Kivi Chemicals ensures that all packaging meets safety standards and is suitable for the transport of hazardous materials.

Storage & Handling

N HEXANE should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flames, as it is highly flammable. Containers must be tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and contamination. It is recommended to use explosion-proof equipment when handling N HEXANE. Personnel should be trained in safe handling practices, and appropriate measures should be taken to avoid skin and eye contact. Ensure compliance with local regulations regarding storage of flammable liquids.
