n-Hexane (CAS 110-54-3) — extraction, polymer and high-purity grades. Serving edible oil extraction, adhesive, rubber, polymerisation and laboratory industries across the UAE and GCC.
Product Overview
n-Hexane (C₆H₁₄) is a straight-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon obtained from the refining of crude oil and natural gas condensate. Commercial "hexane" grades contain 60–95% n-hexane with isomers such as methylpentanes, while high-purity grades exceed 99% n-hexane.
Its low boiling point, narrow distillation range and selective solvency for non-polar compounds make hexane the standard solvent for extracting edible oils from soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, cottonseed and rice bran. The solvent is easily stripped and recovered for reuse.
n-Hexane is also used in rubber cements and adhesives, as a polymerisation medium for polyolefins and synthetic rubber, in industrial cleaning and as a laboratory and chromatography solvent. Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies hexane grades across the UAE and wider GCC.

Every batch is supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) confirming n-hexane content, distillation range, benzene, sulphur and residue against the published grade specification.
Safety Note: n-Hexane is a highly flammable liquid with a very low flash point. It may be fatal if swallowed and enters airways, causes skin irritation, and prolonged exposure can damage the nervous system. It is suspected of damaging fertility and is toxic to aquatic life. Use closed systems, ventilation and PPE. Consult the full SDS before handling.

FAQ
n-Hexane is used mainly for edible oil extraction from oilseeds; as a solvent for adhesives and rubber cements; as a polymerisation medium; for cleaning and degreasing; and as a laboratory and HPLC solvent.
The CAS number for n-Hexane (C₆H₁₄) is 110-54-3. It is transported under UN 1208 as a Class 3 flammable liquid.
n-Hexane refers to the pure straight-chain C₆ molecule, available at 99%+ for laboratory and specialty uses. Commercial hexane is a mixture of n-hexane with its isomers and is widely used for oil extraction and adhesives where a narrow boiling range matters more than isomer purity.
Yes, food-grade extraction hexane is the industry standard. It is removed from the oil by desolventising and stripping, and residual levels are controlled to food-safety limits. Grades with very low benzene and sulphur are used for this purpose.
