9. Comparing Xylene, Cyclohexane and N-Hexane – which hydrocarbon solvent fits your process
All three are hydrocarbons that are insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents, but they differ clearly in boiling point, flash point and application. The figures below are taken from the typical commercial specification tables published on each product page of 3T Chemical.
| Criteria | Xylene | Cyclohexane | N-Hexane |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chemical formula | C8H10 | C6H12 | C6H14 |
| CAS No. | 1330-20-7 | 110-82-7 | 110-54-3 |
| EC No. | 215-535-7 | 203-806-2 | 203-777-6 |
| Type | Aromatic hydrocarbon | Cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon | Straight-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon |
| Boiling point / range | ~137 – 144°C | ~80.7°C | ~68 – 70°C |
| Specific gravity (20°C) | ~0.86 – 0.87 | 0.779 | ~0.655 – 0.660 |
| Flash point (closed cup) | ~25°C | -20°C | -22°C |
| Water solubility | Insoluble in water; readily soluble in organic solvents | Insoluble in water; soluble in organic solvents | Insoluble in water; soluble in organic solvents |
| Purity | Aromatic content ≥ 98% | ≥ 99.5% | n-Hexane content ≥ 95% |
| Packaging | 179 kg/drum | 156 kg/drum | 139 kg/drum |
| Typical applications | Coatings, varnishes, inks, rubber | KA oil, Nylon 6/66, rubber | Vegetable oil extraction, rubber, coatings |
Note: All three sets of values are for reference only. Acceptance must be checked against the COA of the actual batch delivered. Xylene has the highest boiling range and dries more slowly; N-Hexane dries fastest but evaporates readily and drums must be kept tightly closed.
