What is Isohexane?


Isohexane, also known as 2-methylpentane, is a colorless liquid. The chemical is a six-carbon chain with a branching methyl hydrocarbon group coming off of it. It is a highly non-polar chemical, as it only consists of hydrogens and carbons, neither of which have a high electrical pull, meaning they are both uncharged.

Is Isohexane Safe?


This is a highly flammable chemical. While it is unreactive on its own, it should be kept away from heat and flame, as it will almost immediately catch on fire.

Due to isohexane’s non-polar nature, it is a good solvent for removing fats and oils from substances. Because of this, it can cause dryness and cracking in skin when there is prolonged or repeated contact with the skin. This generally happens when it comes into contact with the hands, and thus gloves should be used whenever handling this chemical.

Isohexane is also an irritant, as most chemicals are. It is irritating to the eyes and skin when they come into contact with the chemical. More seriously, this chemical can cause central nervous system depression. When one comes into contact with isohexane in high concentrations or for a long period of time, loss of consciousness may occur.

Proper precautions, such as wearing safety goggles, using the chemical in an area with good ventilation and removing flame from the work area, along with storing the chemical properly can reduce the possibility of harm coming to those utilizing the chemical.

What is Isohexane Used in?


Isohexane is used in a wide variety of different substances found in everyday life. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Gasoline
  • Glues
  • Shoes
  • Leather products
  • Roofing products
  • Extraction of oils
  • Cleansing agents for leather
  • Furniture manufacturing
  • Textile manufacturing

Isopentane, C5H12, also called methylbutane or 2-methylbutane, is a branched-chain alkane with five carbon atoms. Isopentane, 99% CAS# 78-78-4 – used in a closed loop in geothermal power production to drive turbines.

The global isopentane market is anticipated to be valued at US$ 3.9 billion in 2023 and it is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% to reach US$ 6.8 billion by the end of 2033.
Isopentane is available in liquid form at room temperature and is highly flammable in nature. Isopentane is used during polystyrene and foam manufacturing as a blowing agent. It is often employed in numerous personal care and cosmetic product as an aerosol propellant. Increasing demand for EPS and foam for insulation and packaging, along with expanding the cosmetic industry will drive the isopentane market.

Isopentane is a chemical compound that is a branched chain formed by saturated hydrocarbon. This branched chain of
hydrocarbons contains an alkane group with five carbon atoms. Isopentane has been widely used in varied industries based on its chemical composition upper hand and the presence of the hydrocarbon group.
Isopentane is used as a blowing agent for polyurethane foam additive and also EPS additive during the manufacturing of plastics.
Isopentane also acts as a bleeding agent which further opens the door for wide product offerings for its global existence. The swelling functional outlook of the isopentane shall open wide avenues in such business.
