Description
n-Hexane is an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent offered in ROTIDRY® grade with a minimum purity of 99 % and a maximum water content of 50 ppm. It is defined by CAS number 110-54-3 and empirical formula C₆H₁₄, with a molar mass of 86,18 g/mol, a density of 0,66 g/cm³, a flash point of −22 °C and a boiling range of 68 to 69 °C. Supplied in a 1 l glass bottle from manufacturer Carl ROTH, this low-water n-hexane is suited to extractions, chromatography support and organic laboratory work where controlled residual moisture is preferred. The ROTIDRY® specification provides a dry, high-assay medium for sample preparation and synthetic steps that benefit from limited water content. Density and boiling data assist method development, solvent exchange and concentration under reduced pressure. Research and routine laboratories choose this grade when consistent dryness and assay support reproducible partitioning and non-polar solvent applications. Observe standard precautions for flammable hydrocarbon solvents, including adequate ventilation and ignition-source control during use and storage.
