NAPHTHA SOLVENT - Introduction
HEXANES is a colorless liquid with the chemical formula B(OCH3)3. It has the following properties:
1. HEXANES has good solubility and can be dissolved in organic solvents such as ethers, alcohols and esters.
2. It is stable and not easy to hydrolyze at regular temperatures.
3. Has a pungent smell, pay attention to the use of the need to maintain good ventilation.
HEXANES have a variety of uses, including:
1. As a catalyst and reaction intermediate in organic synthesis.
2. Flame retardant for plastics, rubber, resins and coatings.
3. Used as solvent and extractant.
The production method of HEXANES is usually obtained by esterification of boric acid with methanol. The reaction conditions may be carried out under a nitrogen blanket and the reaction mixture is heated.
When using HEXANES, you need to pay attention to the following security information:
1. HEXANES has a pungent odor, and should be well ventilated when using it to avoid prolonged contact.
2. It is a flammable liquid, should be away from fire and high temperature, stored in a cool, ventilated place.
3. Contact HEXANES, should avoid skin contact and inhalation of its vapor, if necessary, wear protective gloves and breathing apparatus.
4. When using HEXANES, you should follow the correct operation method, and store and handle it according to relevant safety measures.
