Hexane Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Commercial Hexanes
- Hexanes
Hexane supplier for extraction plants, rubber and adhesive makers, cleaning teams and coatings formulators in Malaysia. Commercial hexanes are a C6 aliphatic solvent family used where a volatile hydrocarbon cut is specified; n-hexane is requested only when the process names the straight-chain isomer.
Buyers usually choose commercial or technical solvent grades for general dissolving and cleaning, extraction grade for vegetable-oil and oleochemical work, or a defined n-hexane purity when the specification is isomer-specific. Boiling range, composition and residue matter more than a single fixed assay, so state the controls that apply to your process.
Typical uses include palm-oil and vegetable-oil extraction, rubber and adhesive manufacture, industrial degreasing, coatings formulation and chemical-process solvent duty. This page does not cover cyclohexane, hexamine, heptane, petroleum ether or white spirit.
Send the required grade or isomer, boiling range, purity target, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Hexane grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial hexane solvent | clear, colourless volatile liquid | — | General industrial solvent duty where a C6 aliphatic cut is specified as commercial hexanes rather than a single pure isomer. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical grade hexane | clear, colourless volatile liquid | — | Cleaning, degreasing, adhesive work and process dissolving where a technical hexane cut meets the plant specification. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Extraction grade hexane | clear, colourless volatile liquid | — | Vegetable-oil and oleochemical extraction, and other process extraction steps that name hexane as the extraction solvent. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| n-Hexane grade | clear, colourless volatile liquid | — | Duties that specifically require the straight-chain isomer rather than a commercial C6 mixture. State purity, composition and boiling range with the enquiry. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Hexane applications
Safety and handling
- Classification
- flammable
Store sealed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources, heat and strong oxidisers. Hexane is highly volatile and flammable: control vapour, keep containers closed and follow the safety data sheet for the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about hexane
Is hexane the same as n-hexane?
Not always. Commercial hexanes are often C6 isomer mixtures traded as a solvent cut, while n-hexane is the straight-chain isomer specified when the process requires that identity. State whether you need commercial hexanes or n-hexane, plus purity and boiling range, so the offer can be matched.
Which hexane grade should I request?
Commercial or technical grades suit general solvent, cleaning and adhesive work. Extraction grade is commonly selected for vegetable-oil and related extraction. Request n-hexane only when the specification names the pure isomer. Include the application and critical limits with the enquiry.
What is industrial hexane used for?
Buyers use hexane for vegetable-oil extraction, rubber and adhesive manufacture, industrial degreasing and cleaning, coatings formulation and general chemical-process solvent duty. Describe the process so composition and grade can be aligned before quotation.
What specifications should a buyer provide for hexane?
State commercial hexanes or n-hexane, intended use, and any required boiling range, purity or composition, density and residue limits. For an existing process, attach the current specification or a sample requirement so the grade can be checked against it.
Is hexane the same as cyclohexane, heptane or petroleum ether?
No. Cyclohexane is a cyclic C6 solvent, heptane is a C7 aliphatic cut, and petroleum ether is a broader light-naphtha fraction. This page covers the hexane and commercial hexanes family only. Send the product named on your specification if you need a different solvent.
What details are needed for a hexane price enquiry?
Provide the grade or isomer requirement, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing, documentation needs and timing so the quotation can address the full requirement.
