Heptane is a highly volatile, nonpolar aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent with low odor and excellent solvency for oils, waxes, resins, and hydrophobic intermediates.
It is widely used in pharmaceutical and fine-chemical manufacturing for crystallization, extraction, purification, and chromatography where controlled polarity is required.
Heptane’s narrow boiling range and low miscibility with water allow efficient phase separation and solvent recovery.
In laboratories, it is used as a reference solvent and mobile phase component; in industry, it supports adhesive, coating, and polymer processing.
High-purity grades are suitable for regulated applications when handled according to safety and environmental guidelines.
