PRODUCT OVERVIEW

DESCRIPTION

Heptane, also known as n-heptane, is a straight-chain alkane with the chemical formula H3C(CH2)5CH3 or C7H16. This versatile chemical is one of the primary components of gasoline, also referred to as petrol. It is widely used as a test fuel component in anti-knock test engines, with a 100% heptane fuel serving as the zero point of the octane rating scale. In this rating system, the 100-point mark corresponds to 100% iso-octane. The octane number is a measure of the anti-knock properties of a comparison mixture of heptane and iso-octane. This number is expressed as the percentage of iso-octane in heptane and is listed on pumps for petrol dispensed globally, allowing consumers to choose the right fuel for their needs. The versatility and importance of heptane in the petrol industry cannot be overstated, making it a crucial component in the manufacture of gasoline.
