Hexane, Branched and Linear
- Aliphatic solvents
- CAS 92112-69-1
- IUPAC: Hexane, branched and linear
Hexane, Branched and Linear (CAS 92112-69-1) appears in 1 of the 1,812 car-care products CarCareTruth tracks (as of June 2026). It is classified as a VOC.
Branched and linear hexane isomers (CAS 92112-69-1) are less hazardous than n-hexane (CAS 110-54-3) — the branched isomers (isohexane, 2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane) do not carry the peripheral neuropathy risk of n-hexane. Highly flammable. CNS depressant at high concentrations.
Hexane, Branched and Linear (CAS 92112-69-1) is a mixture of C6 aliphatic hydrocarbon isomers including both straight-chain and branched forms. Used as a fast-evaporating solvent in aerosol cleaning products. Less hazardous than pure n-hexane — the branched isomers do not metabolize to the neurotoxic hexane-2,5-dione metabolite. Extremely flammable.
