Hexyl ketone, also known as 2-hexanone, is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor reminiscent of ketones. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ketones, which are characterized by the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O) flanked by two carbon atoms. With the molecular formula C6H12O, hexyl ketone has a moderate boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is primarily used as a solvent in various industrial applications, including coatings, adhesives, and chemical synthesis. Hexyl ketone is also utilized in the production of fragrances and flavoring agents due to its pleasant scent. As with many ketones, it can be flammable and should be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols to minimize exposure and risks. Additionally, hexyl ketone may have health effects if inhaled or ingested, necessitating the use of personal protective equipment in occupational settings.

Di-n-Hexylketone is a liquid that is colorless and has a sweet odor. It has been shown to have thermal expansion properties that are similar to those of glycol ethers. Di-n-hexylketone also has the ability to react with hydroxyl groups, which can be found in methyl ethyl ketones, as well as particles and molecules. In order for this reaction to occur, the temperature must be above the phase transition temperature. Di-n-hexylketone is often used in particle or microcapsule flow systems because it can act as both a solid catalyst and a liquid.
