About Hydrocarbons

Buy toluene, xylene, hexane, heptane, VM&P naphtha, and specialty hydrocarbon solvents from Alliance Chemical in ACS Reagent and Technical grades. Available in quarts through 55-gallon drums.

Products In This Collection

This collection includes toluene ACS Grade (CAS 108-88-3, 99.0–100.5% assay), xylene ACS Reagent Grade (CAS 1330-20-7), n-heptane 99% ACS (CAS 142-82-5), hexane Technical Grade (CAS 110-54-3, >99%), and VM&P naphtha Technical Grade (CAS 64742-89-8, boiling range 90–150°C).

Common Applications

Toluene is used in paint, ink, and coating formulations, resin dissolution, and chemical synthesis. Xylene serves as a histology clearing agent, paint solvent, and industrial degreaser. Hexane is the standard extraction solvent for oilseed processing and botanical extraction. Heptane provides a non-polar solvent for chromatography. VM&P naphtha is used as a fast-evaporating paint thinner and degreaser.

Why Buy From Alliance Chemical

All hydrocarbon solvents include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Certificates of Analysis (COA). Alliance Chemical provides 1-2 business day shipping with DOT-compliant hazmat packaging and no minimum order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are hydrocarbon solvents commonly used for?
Hydrocarbon solvents such as toluene, xylene, and hexane are primarily used in industrial cleaning, paint thinning, and chemical processing. They are effective for degreasing and dissolving a variety of substances, making them indispensable in laboratory and industrial settings.
How do I choose the right grade of hydrocarbon solvent for my application?
The choice of solvent grade depends on the specific application. For example, ACS reagent grades are suitable for analytical and research purposes while technical grades are often used in industrial cleaning. Alliance Chemical provides a range of grades to meet diverse requirements.
Is it safe to use hydrocarbon solvents?
When used according to guidelines, hydrocarbon solvents are safe. It is essential to follow safety instructions, such as using them in well-ventilated areas and wearing appropriate protective gear. Always consult the Safety Data Sheets provided by Alliance Chemical for specific safety measures.
How should hydrocarbon solvents be stored?
Store hydrocarbon solvents in a cool, dry place away from sources of ignition and heat. Ensure containers are tightly sealed to prevent spills and evaporation. Alliance Chemical containers often come with clear storage guidelines printed on the label.
What concentrations are commonly available for hydrocarbon solvents?
Commonly available concentrations vary depending on the solvent. Toluene, xylene, and hexane are typically available in technical or ACS grades with high purity. For specific concentration needs, Alliance Chemical can provide custom solutions.
Can hydrocarbon solvents be used for botanical extraction?
Yes, hydrocarbon solvents like hexane are commonly used for botanical and chemical extractions due to their powerful dissolution properties. They can efficiently extract oils and resins from plant materials.
Are these solvents biodegradable?
Most hydrocarbon solvents are not biodegradable and must be handled according to environmental regulations. Alliance Chemical ensures compliance with regulations for disposal and provides solvents that meet strict environmental safety standards.
What is the difference between aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents?
Aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as hexane, are saturated and typically used for non-polar solvent applications. Aromatic hydrocarbons, like toluene and xylene, contain benzene rings and are used when a stronger solvency power is required. Alliance Chemical offers both types to fit various industrial purposes.
