Application Guidance

Hexane Technical Grade (Technical Grade) is a nonpolar solvent used for hydrocarbon extraction, coatings, and degreasing.

Coatings, paints, and adhesives
Industrial degreasing
Hydrocarbon extraction and recovery
Rubber and polymer processing
Cleaning of oil-based residues

Highly flammable and electrostatic-prone. Use grounded transfer equipment and inert gas blanketing where appropriate.

Storage & Handling

Recommended Storage: Cool, well-ventilated flammable-liquid storage. Tightly sealed containers. Segregate from oxidizers. Bond and ground bulk storage; consider inert gas blanketing for volatile solvents.Class-level guidance — not product-specific; the SDS controls.
Handling Precautions: Eliminate ignition sources. Use chemical-resistant nitrile or PVA gloves. Bond and ground all transfer equipment. Vapors heavier than air — control ventilation accordingly.Class-level guidance — not product-specific; the SDS controls.
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, halogens, nitric acid. Some grades react with rubber and certain plastics — verify gasket and hose compatibility.Class-level guidance — not product-specific; the SDS controls.
Shelf Life: 36 monthseamaterials.com

For full hazard, PPE, and emergency response guidance, refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for this product. The SDS controls in all cases where guidance differs.
