Hexane Production Cost Reports

Hexane production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Hexane production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Hexane. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Hexane (C6H14) is an alkane made from crude oil. Its traces can be found in raw natural gas. This natural product can be found in Perilla frutescens,, Aglaia odoratissima, and other organisms. It is an organic compound, a straight-chain alkane with six carbon atoms.

Hexane is a clear, colourless liquid chemical with a slightly disagreeable petroleum-like odour. It is extremely volatile and very flammable, and its vapours can be explosive. It has a flash point of -9 °F. It is less dense than water and does not have any solubility in it. Its vapours are heavier than air. It has a molar mass of 86.18 g/mol and a density of 655 kg/m³. Its respective boiling and melting points are 68.5 to 69.1 °C and −96 to −94 °C.

Hexane has a wide range of applications and is typically used to produce and extract edible oils from nut and vegetable crops, like peanuts and soybeans. The majority of hexane used in industrial applications is mixed with similar chemicals named solvents. These solvents act like cleaning agents in the printing, furniture, textile, and shoemaking industries.

It is also added to a few special types of glue used in the roofing and shoe, and leather industries. It finds application as a paint thinner, solvent, and chemical reaction medium. It can also be used for degreasing and cleaning various items, as well as to manufacture textiles. Furthermore, it finds employment as a non-polar solvent in chromatography which in turn boosts the market expansion.
