Hexane is a common industrial chemical derived from petroleum and crude oil refinement. Pure n-hexane occurs in crude oil in small percentages and can be isolated from a number of oil fractions from the refinery process (e.g. light and heavy naphtha, light gasoline or BTX (benzene, toluene, and xylene). Commercial hexane is a mixture that contains approximately 52% n-hexane. Other compounds in the mixture are e.g. varying amounts of structural isomers and related chemicals, such as methyl pentane and methyl cyclopentane.
Hexane has gained recognition over the past few years, especially as an industrial solvent owing to its outstanding performance characteristics such as easy miscibility, low solubility, low impurities and colorless nature. Qualities such as color preservation of original material along with the ability to remove unwanted taste provide a competitive edge to the market growth. The steady growth of the end-use industries and manufacturing sector is propelling the demand of hexane in Asia-Pacific region. Additionally, China and India would grow the fastest in this region as a result of a huge manufacturing industry, increasingly favorable regulatory environment and the low cost of production & lenient regulation. Other regions such as Europe and countries such as the U.S. could also considerably contribute toward the growth of the global hexane market while riding on their flourishing pharmaceutical & chemical industry.
