What are the applications of n-Heptane Solvent (CAS 142-82-5)?

What is n-Heptane Solvent?

CAS 142-82-5  n-heptane is a colourless, volatile alkane hydrocarbon and is known for its characteristic, slightly sweet smell and is mainly used as a solvent in laboratory chemistry and in the production of adhesives, paints and cleaning agents.

n-heptane is mainly obtained through the distillation of crude oil in refineries. It is used in the chemical industry and in laboratories as a standard solution and as a solvent in the manufacture of various chemical products.

What are the applications of n-Heptane Solvent

n-heptane is a very good solvent for non-polar substances, fats and oils. Especially in the pharmaceutical industry, it is used as an inert solvent, for purification, recrystallization and washing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). Some synthetic rubbers such as polybutadiene are produced in solution. Since n-heptane is chemically inert (it has no so-called functionality or functional group), it is an ideal solvent for this sensitive reaction.

Heavy greases or oils can be diluted with parafins such as n-heptane to facilitate application. It is also found as a component in paints, varnishes and adhesives.

n-Heptane has an octane number of 0, which has been defined internationally. This makes high-purity n-heptane (min. 99.75 %) a primary reference fuel for determining the octane number of a gasoline in a specially built engine.
