HEXANE USERS-
Where Chemical Purity is Vita! FOR
EXTRACTION AS
REACTION MEDIA FOR
ADHESIVES
AMSCO Hexane is notable for its near-perfect purity. For this reason it is extensively used as a chemical reaction medium in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and polyolefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, butadiene rubber and isoprene rubber. AMSCO Hexane is so pure it cannot cause catalyst poisoning. In extracting oils, fats, and other materials where the end product is to be edible, the absence of aromatic compounds such as benzene is highly desir-
Its high purity and its controlled volatility also make AMSCO Hexane well suited as a component of adhesives, quick-drying rubber cements, lacquers, and printing inks. We invite your inquiry.
