Isohexane
Introduction
Characteristics
| Molar Weight | 86.18 g/mol |
| Melting Point | -154 °C |
| Boiling Point | 62 °C |
Product Grades
Industrial Grade
Purity is typically ≥99%. Mainly used in large-scale industrial applications such as vegetable oil extraction, rubber solvents, and cleaning agents.
High-Purity Grade
Purity can reach ≥99.9%, with stricter impurity control. Commonly used as reference standards in gas chromatography (GC), precision instrument cleaning, and advanced organic synthesis.
Reagent Grade
Some suppliers offer ≥99.5% in Analytical Reagent (AR) or Chromatographic Pure (GC) specifications, exclusively for scientific research and laboratory use.

Isohexane Used in the Coating Industry
Isohexane can effectively dissolve resins and oils. It is commonly used for thinning automotive and furniture paints. It features a vapor pressure slightly higher than that of n-hexane, resulting in a volatilization rate approximately 20%–30% faster for rapid-drying coating applications.
2-Methylpentane Used in the Rubber Industry
In tire manufacturing, 2-methylpentane is used as a release agent and dispersant, which can reduce the viscosity of rubber compounds and improve the uniformity of fillers.
Isohexane Used in the Electronic Industry
Isohexane can be used for cleaning precision instruments. Its low-residue characteristics help prevent corrosion of circuit boards.
2-Methylpentane Used in the Energy Industry
2-Methylpentane can be used as a fuel additive. When blended with gasoline, it helps increase the octane rating and reduce engine knocking.
Isohexane Used in the Plastic Industry
Isohexane undergoes thermal cracking to produce light olefins such as propylene and isobutylene; hydrogenation does not generate olefin products.
2-Methylpentane Used in the Laboratory
In gas chromatography analysis, 2-methylpentaneis often used as a reference standard for calibration and detection.
