Frequently asked
What is hexane primarily used for?
Hexane's largest industrial use is as an extraction solvent for vegetable oils (soybean, canola, and others), where it dissolves oil from crushed seed meal efficiently and is then recovered by distillation.
Is hexane the same as gasoline?
No. Hexane is a single, well-defined hydrocarbon compound, while gasoline is a complex blend of many hydrocarbons and additives. Hexane is, however, a component found in some gasoline blends.
What container sizes are available?
Hexane ships in 55-gallon drums, 275-gallon totes, 7,700-gallon tankers, or 28,500-gallon railcars.
