Hexane Market Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends And Forecast To 2015

1. Global Hexane Market - Capacity, Generation, Industry Size, Major Feedstock, Regulations, and Key Country Analysis to 2015 Global hexane market is expected to witness substantial growth owing to increasing use in oil extraction industry. Properties including low solubility in water, colorless nature and easy miscibility with alcohol, chloroform and ether are expected to be key drivers for global hexane market. . These properties makes hexane most widely used solvent in the industries including printing, textile, furniture and footwear. Hexane is primarily used in application as special purpose solvent and oil extractant owing to its use in various industries including edible oil, printing, textiles, leather, paints and rubber. Hexane also known as n-hexane is an organic compound derived from natural gas and crude oil through various thermal and catalytic cracking process. Owing to its properties hexane in its highly purified form finds its application in chemical laboratories as an extractant for wide range of non-polar organic compounds and hydrocarbons. Hexane is used extensively in edible oil industry as an oil extractant for variety of seed crops including mustard seed, cotton seed, soybeans and peanuts. Furthermore, properties including preservation of colors of original plant materials, ability to remove unwanted taste and other undesirable food properties is expected to increase global demand for hexane in the edible oil industry. Printing industry application of hexane includes its use as a cleaner and also used as component of certain inks owing to its property of cleaning agent.
