Hexane is a chemical derived from crude oil. Pure hexane is a colorless liquid with a slightly unpleasant odour. It is highly flammable and its vapors can be explosive. Pure hexane is used in laboratories. Most of the hexane used in industry is mixed with similar chemicals called solvents. The primary use of hexane-containing solvents is to extract vegetable oils from crops such as soybeans. These solvents are also used as cleaning agents in the printing, textile, furniture and shoemaking industries. Some specialty adhesives used in the roofing, footwear and leather industries also contain hexane. Various consumer products, such as gasoline, quick-drying adhesives used in various hobbies, and rubber cement contain hexane.

Hexane vapors, which are less dense than water and insoluble in water, are heavier than air. They are commonly used as solvents, paint thinners, and chemical reaction mediums.
Oilseeds are crucial to global nutritional security. The traditional technology used for oil extraction from oilseeds is solvent extraction. In solvent extraction, hexane is used as a solvent due to its properties such as simple recovery, non-polar nature, low latent heat of vaporization and high selectivity towards solvents. However, the use of hexane as a solvent causes various problems such as air pollution, toxicity and harmfulness, and alternative options are therefore being explored.
Extraction is a process used to extract oil from organic products such as seeds, nuts, olives, fruits and vegetables to produce oil. Hexane is an ideal chemical solvent for extraction, as it has a high evaporation rate and low boiling point. Hexane also does not produce toxic fumes for the safety of the user.
In the chemical extraction of oils, the seeds or other oil-producing fruit are ground, rounded and then coated with a solvent that will extract the oil. This mixture is then left to settle. When the solvent evaporates, the extracted oils are left behind. Hexane is the solvent of choice as it evaporates rapidly and boils at 68 degrees Celsius and has low toxicity levels.
