Any one of five hydrocarbons, C6H14, of the paraffin series. They are colorless, volatile liquids, and are so called because the molecule has six carbon atoms.
Similar to heptane, but more toxic. Used in rubber cement and rubber cement thinners. Causes permanent nerve damage in sufficient doses (James, 1985).Hexane accumulates in body tissue.*Flammable. Eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritant. Neurotoxin. Used in some adhesives and art products
A hydrocarbon volatile liquid found in glue or gasoline.
An alkane having the formula C6H14. Flash point -9°F. Explosive limits of 1.2% to 7.5%.
a colorless flammable liquid alkane derived from petroleum and used as a solvent
A hydrocarbon gas that is an ingredient of natural gas. Hexane molecules each contain six carbon atoms and fourteen hydrogen atoms.
A dangerous compound present in many glues and adhesive products. Inhalation of these products has been associated with muscular weakness and atrophy” ( Levinthal, 264).
Petroleum liquid found in small amounts in condensates.
Any of 5 isomeric, volatile, liquid, paraffin hydrocarbons C6H14 found in petroleum.
Hexane is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)4CH3. The "hex" prefix refers to its six carbons, while the "ane" ending indicates that its carbons are connected by single bonds. Hexane isomers are largely unreactive, and are frequently used as an inert solvent in organic reactions because they are very non-polar.
