Heptane: Introduction
- Heptane is a volatile organic compound of the alkane hydrocarbon family. It is a colorless liquid with a typical petroleum odor. Heptane is a non-polar solvent that is extensively utilized in various applications such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, paints & coatings, plastic & polymer, adhesives & sealants, and textile and industrial cleaning products. It is also used as a fuel component in anti-knock engine testing. In terms of purity, heptane is majorly classified into <95%, 95-99% and ≥99%. It is also employed in niche applications such as catalyst preparation, chromatography, and other lab scale operations.
Key Drivers of Global Heptane Market
- The global heptane market is expected to expand significantly due to an increase in the demand for heptane in various applications such as cleaning agents, pharmaceuticals, paints & coatings, and adhesives & sealants.
- Increase in consumption of consumer electronics, owing to a rise in disposable income and higher standards of living, is expected to fuel the demand for heptane
