Product Overview & Quality

Product Name: n-Hexane
Brand: Kemaus (Product Code: KA-2508)
Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade) with a linear isomer purity of 95 percent or higher. Meticulously manufactured under Kemaus premium quality standards to ensure exceptionally low non-volatile residue and water content. It evaporates completely clean, making it a reliable choice for sensitive analytical methods and instrumental baselines.
Physical Properties: Clear, colorless, highly volatile liquid with a faint, characteristic petroleum-like odor.
Solubility: Practically insoluble in water (forms a distinct two-phase layer); completely miscible with organic solvents such as ether, alcohol, and chloroform.
Key Use: Widely utilized as a primary non-polar solvent for oil and fat extraction from agricultural, food, and biological samples. Frequently used in formulating mobile phases for advanced liquid chromatography. Also applied as a reaction medium in organic synthesis and a specialized degreasing agent for cleaning precision laboratory parts.

Safety & Hazards (Critical)

Classification: Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Causes skin irritation. May damage fertility or the unborn child. May cause drowsiness or dizziness. May cause damage to organs (Central Nervous System) through prolonged or repeated exposure.
Health Risks: Inhalation of concentrated vapors triggers central nervous system depression, leading to headaches, dizziness, nausea, or loss of consciousness. Prolonged or repeated skin exposure causes defatting of the skin, resulting in severe dryness, cracking, and irritation.
Environmental Hazards: Toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. Dispose of strictly under regulated hazardous organic chemical waste guidelines. Do not discharge into general sewers.
First Aid Measures: Immediately flush affected eyes or skin with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. If inhaled, move the victim to fresh air immediately. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

Handling & Storage

Storage: Highly Flammable and Volatile. Must be stored in its original, tightly sealed Kemaus container inside a certified flammable safety cabinet. Keep in a cool, dry, and excellently ventilated chemical safety zone at stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius). Keep strictly away from open flames, sparks, hot surfaces, static discharge, direct sunlight, and strong oxidizing agents.
Precautions: Wear standard personal protective equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant nitrile laboratory gloves, safety glasses, and an organic vapor protective respirator. Handle strictly within a functioning fume hood to avoid exposure to hazardous volatile vapors.
