N-hexane
n-Hexane is an industrial organic solvent that is widely used for its effectiveness but carries significant health risks. Its defining characteristic is the coexistence of "high utility" and "high toxicity"-it is both an efficient extraction and cleaning agent and a confirmed neurotoxin.
🔬 What Is It?
n-Hexane is a straight-chain saturated hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C₆H₁₄, derived from petroleum refining. At room temperature, it is a colorless, highly volatile liquid with a distinctive gasoline-like odor.
