It is a straight-chain alkane and is commonly used as a solvent in various industrial applications. n-Hexane is typically produced from the fractional distillation of petroleum or crude oil refining processes. It is valued for its low toxicity, low boiling point, and excellent solvent properties. n-Hexane finds widespread use as a solvent in the extraction of vegetable oils, such as soybean and corn oil, in the production of adhesives, sealants, and inks, and as a cleaning agent in the printing industry. It is also utilized as a degreaser for metal parts, as a carrier solvent in the manufacture of polyurethane foam, and as a solvent for glues and varnishes

. Additionally, n-Hexane serves as a standard reference material in laboratory testing and calibration procedures, particularly in the field of chromatography.
