Chemical properties

clear liquid

The Uses of HEXANES

Solvent, freezing-point depressant.

Definition

A mixture of branched-chain isomers.

Hazard

Highly flammable, dangerous fire and explosion risk, explosive limits in air 1–7%.

Health Hazard

Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Eye protection (as for gasoline); Symptoms Following Exposure: Inhalation causes irritation of respiratory tract, cough, mild depression, cardiac arrhythmias. Aspiration causes severe lung irritation, coughing, pulmonary edema; excitement followed by depression. Ingestion causes nausea, vomiting, swelling of abdomen, headache, depression; General Treatment for Exposure: INHALATION: maintain respiration, give oxygen if needed. ASPIRATION: enforce bed rest; give oxygen. INGESTION: do NOT induce vomiting; call a doctor. EYES: wash with copious amount of water. SKIN: wipe off, wash with soap and water; Toxicity by Inhalation (Threshold Limit Value): Data not available; Short-Term Inhalation Limits: Data not available; Toxicity by Ingestion: Data not available; Late Toxicity: None; Vapor (Gas) Irritant Characteristics: Vapors are nonirritating to the eyes and throat; Liquid or Solid Irritant Characteristics: No appreciable hazard.
