CAS number 64742-49-0
Hexane polymerization refers to the process of converting hexane, a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C6H14, into polymers, which are large molecules made up of repeating subunits.
Hexane polymerization can be achieved through various methods, including:
Ziegler-Natta Polymerization: This method involves the use of a catalyst, such as titanium chloride, to initiate the polymerization reaction. The catalyst is typically dissolved in a solvent, such as hexane, and then added to the monomer, which is also dissolved in the solvent. The reaction is carried out at a high temperature and pressure, resulting in the formation of long polymer chains.
Metallocene Polymerization: This method involves the use of a metallocene catalyst, which is a type of transition metal compound, to initiate the polymerization reaction. The catalyst is typically dissolved in a solvent, such as hexane, and then added to the monomer, which is also dissolved in the solvent. The reaction is carried out at a high temperature and pressure, resulting in the formation of highly uniform polymer chains.
Free Radical Polymerization: This method involves the use of a free radical initiator, such as benzoyl peroxide, to initiate the polymerization reaction. The initiator is typically dissolved in a solvent, such as hexane, and then added to the monomer, which is also dissolved in the solvent. The reaction is carried out at a high temperature and pressure, resulting in the formation of randomly branched polymer chains.
The resulting hexane polymers can be used in various applications, such as in the production of plastics, synthetic rubbers, and adhesives. Hexane polymerization is a complex process that requires careful control of various reaction parameters, such as temperature, pressure, and catalyst concentration, to achieve the desired polymer properties.

This industrial solvent is widely used in the formulation of paints, coatings, printing inks, and adhesives. Its medium boiling range and refined structure allow for precise evaporation, effective solubility, and excellent compatibility with sensitive raw materials. It is also suitable for use in cosmetic and personal care products due to its low toxicity and odourless profile. ShellSol T is additionally applied in specialty chemical formulations that demand clean performance and low emissions.

Sorbitol Syrup 70% – High-Purity Polyol for Food, Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals
Sorbitol Syrup 70% is an aqueous solution of polyols with 70% total solids, produced through catalytic hydrogenation of starch hydrolysates. This clear, sweet-tasting syrup is widely used in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries due to its unique functional properties. It is non-crystallizing, has excellent moisture-retention capabilities, and serves as a sugar substitute in a wide range of reduced-sugar or sugar-free formulations.
For more information on polyols and their applications, you can visit the International Polyol Association.
In the food industry, Sorbitol Syrup is commonly used as a low-calorie sweetener in reduced-sugar products. It is especially valuable in baking, where it acts as a plasticizer, maintaining softness and extending shelf life by slowing down the staling process. It is also used as a humectant in cookies, peanut butter, fruit preserves, and other low-moisture foods, helping to keep products moist and fresh over time.
In cosmetics and personal care, Sorbitol Syrup functions as a humectant and thickening agent. It helps retain moisture in products such as toothpaste, mouthwash, moisturizing creams, and lotions. Its gentle nature and hydrating properties make it ideal for skin and oral care applications.
Sorbitol also finds specialized applications in other industries. It is used as a cryoprotectant additive—when combined with sucrose and sodium polyphosphates—in the production of surimi, a processed fish paste. It also serves as a moisture-retaining agent in certain tobacco products such as cigarettes.
