Heptane is a clear, colorless liquid hydrocarbon with a mild, gasoline-like odor. Known for its high solvency, low boiling point, and excellent volatility, heptane is widely used in laboratories, as well as in industrial and manufacturing applications. Its low viscosity and effective cleaning properties make it a popular choice for applications in adhesives, coatings, and extraction processes.
Heptane is highly valued in the laboratory for chromatographic analysis and purity testing. Additionally, due to its non-polar nature, heptane is used as a solvent in organic synthesis and as a reference fuel in octane rating tests. Its versatility, high purity, and performance characteristics make it an essential chemical in many industries, including petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and automotive.
