Heptane
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Heptane is a straight-chain alkane valued as a fast-evaporating, non-polar solvent. We supply High-Purity n-Heptane suitable for precision laboratory use and heavy industrial degreasing.
This Technical Grade hydrocarbon is essential for the automotive industry, serving as the standard for fuel “knock” testing. It offers Excellent Stability and low odor compared to aromatic solvents.
In manufacturing, it acts as a primary carrier for rubber cements and specialized adhesives. Its Consistent Quality ensures uniform drying times and high bond strength in rubber processing.
Heptane
APPLICATIONS
