Our N-Heptane pure 55 gallon drum, is used as a non-polar solvent typically during the plant extraction or crystallization process. N-heptane or normal heptane is a pure single molecule product, which functions better for crystallization due to the tighter control of the chemical properties.
Heptane solvent is frequently used as a test fuel component in anti-knock tests for engines, among several other applications. Heptane is available in a variety of isomers, and is sometimes referred to as Septane.
