HEPTANE
Details
HEPTANE is a narrow boiling range, rapidly evaporating solvent intended for use in the adhesive and printing industries and in other applications where low benzene and n-hexane contents are desirable.
HEPTANE is predominantly a C7 hydrocarbon solvent which contains less than 0.01% v/v benzene and less than 0.10% v/v nHexane.
HEPTANE has adequate solvency for its end use applcations.
HEPTANE is highly flammable (Flash Point <0 °C), can form explosive mixtures with air and is immiscible with water. It should be kept away from heat, naked flames and sparks. Electrostatic charge may be generated during handling, e.g. pumping. In case of fire, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, foam, sand or earth should be used, but not water jets.
Occupational exposure to solvents should be reduced to the lowest practicable level. Continuous inhalation of the vapour should be avoided. Prolonged and repeated skin contact can cause dermatitis due to defatting properties.
