About N HEPTANE 99%

n-Heptane is the straight-chain alkane with the chemical formula H3C(CH2)5CH3 or C7H16. When used as a test fuel component in anti-knock test engines, a 100% heptane fuel is the zero point of the octane rating scale (the 100 point is a 100% iso-octane). Octane number equates to the anti-knock qualities of a comparison mixture of heptane and isooctane which is expressed as the percentage of isooctane in heptane and is listed on pumps for gasoline (petrol) dispensed globally.

High Purity for Reliable Applications

With a 99% purity and adherence to industrial and laboratory-grade standards, N-Heptane guarantees consistent results across various chemical processes. Its clarity and solubility attributes make it particularly suitable for precise synthesis and analytical work.

Safe Handling and Storage

Due to its highly flammable nature and potential to cause irritation, N-Heptane should be stored in tightly sealed containers within well-ventilated, cool, and dry environments, away from ignition sources. Proper storage prolongs its shelf life to up to two years and maintains its efficacy.

Versatile Uses Across Industries

N-Heptanes solvent capabilities are utilized in laboratories, chemical synthesis, cleaning procedures, and as a laboratory reagent. Its compatibility with alcohol and ether enhances its action for cleaning sensitive equipment and synthesizing specialized compounds.

FAQs of N HEPTANE 99%:

Q: How should N-Heptane 99% be stored to maintain its quality?

A: N-Heptane 99% should be stored in a tightly closed container, placed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. It must be kept away from sources of ignition, heat, and direct sunlight to preserve its stability and prolong its shelf life up to two years.

Q: What is the correct process for handling N-Heptane safely?

A: When handling N-Heptane, use it in a well-ventilated area, wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection, and avoid open flames or sparks. In case of skin or eye contact, rinse immediately with water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Q: Where can N-Heptane 99% be applied in an industrial or laboratory setting?

A: N-Heptane is extensively used as a solvent, laboratory reagent, and cleaning agent. It is also vital in chemical synthesis and can be applied in quality testing and analysis procedures in both industrial and research laboratories.

Q: When is N-Heptane particularly beneficial in laboratory applications?

A: N-Heptane is highly beneficial whenever a non-polar, volatile solvent is requiredfor example, in chromatographic separations, residue analysis, or cleaning precision glassware and equipment.

Q: What types of packaging are available for distributing N-Heptane 99% in India?

A: N-Heptane 99% is distributed and supplied in India in 165 kg drums, 20 L cans, or custom packaging as per user requirements, allowing flexibility based on the scale of usage.

Q: How does the physical form and solubility of N-Heptane enhance its usage as a cleaning agent?

A: As a clear, colorless, and low-density liquid that mixes well with alcohol and ether, N-Heptane quickly evaporates, leaving minimal residue, which makes it effective for cleaning laboratory equipment and sensitive machinery components.
