Hexane (n-hexane) is an organic compound derived from crude oil and natural gas using various catalytic and thermal cracking processes. It is both an anthropogenic and a naturally occurring chemical. The adoption of hexane has witnessed a steady rise across industries, driven by its unique chemical properties and versatility. In the agro-processing sector, hexane extraction has become the method for obtaining edible oils from seeds and fruits. The food industry has embraced hexane for its efficiency in oil extraction, ensuring the final product's high yield and purity.
The automotive and electronics industries have also integrated hexane into their manufacturing processes. It is a key ingredient in producing automotive adhesives and sealants, providing the necessary properties for robust bonding. Hexane's role in cleaning and degreasing electronic components in electronics produces high-quality devices. Furthermore, it is adopted in the cosmetic and personal care industry, where it is utilized to extract essential oils for perfumes and formulate beauty products. The pharmaceutical sector's reliance on hexane as a solvent for drug production has further fueled its adoption.
As per the International Trade Administration (ITA), in the first half of 2022, the Canadian cosmetics industry was the fastest-growing industry in the country. In 2022, Canada's personal care and beauty sector earned around $11 billion in revenue. The use of hexane in compliance with green extraction methods supports the development of personal care products that cater to environmentally conscious consumers in Canada. Personal care products, including perfumes and scented lotions, benefit from hexane's role in obtaining essential fragrance components in Canada. Using hexane ensures a consistent extraction of fragrance components, contributing to the standardized scent profiles in personal care products in Canada. Also, ITA estimates by 2024, cosmetic industry revenue is anticipated to increase by 1.45% yearly to USD 1.8 billion. Due to these aspects, the market will expand across the North America region in upcoming years.
