Safety data sheet documentation for n-hexane (CAS 110-54-3), compiled to REACH Annex II with classification read against the harmonised entry in CLP Annex VI (H225, H361f, H304, H336). Two options: a working draft sent by e-mail immediately, or a signed card issued within 72 hours of complete input. The item supplied is a document — MolGod.org does not sell, supply or ship chemical substances.
Free, and generated automatically from the sources listed on this page. No person has reviewed it, and it describes the substance in general — not your material, your process or your intended market.
Section 9 — physicochemical properties: 14 of 22 established.
We show what is established and name what is not. Classification and identity are complete on every card; section 9 is where public data is thin.
Identity, structure, physical and chemical properties, analytical data and the literature — every value with the source it came from and the date that source was read. The full record is in the data sections further down this page.
Identity CAS · EC · IUPAC · synonyms · molecular formula · molecular weight
Structure 2D · 3D · SMILES · InChI · InChIKey
Physical melting point · boiling point · density · vapour pressure · solubility
Chemical reactivity · stability · incompatible materials
Analytical spectra and methods where available
References literature, with DOI where a DOI exists
Identifier coverage is shown as a count, not as a quality rating. It tells you how well characterised this substance is in public data — which is a different question from how good it is, and a more useful one when you are deciding whether the documentation behind it can be defended.
This page sells the documentation for this substance, not the substance. Choose the level you need.

€49.99Working draftThe complete sixteen-section document, referenced, downloadable immediately after checkout. The right choice while the paperwork is still moving.
€249.99Signed cardThe same document reviewed and signed, issued within 72 hours of complete input — for the moment somebody official asks who stands behind it.
Documentation available for this substance: safety data sheet · CLP label · certificate of analysis on request · specification. Languages: the official language of your destination market, produced per card.
Grade, purity, physical form, packaging, minimum order and lead time are not shown, because MolGod does not supply the material — those are facts about a seller, and there is no seller on this page. They appear on storefronts we build for suppliers, where somebody can answer for them.
What a compliance officer checks, and where it sits in the document. The values themselves are in the regulatory sections further down.
Classification harmonised entry with index number where one exists; self-classification shown separately and labelled, never merged
Hazard statements the official text, in the page language
Precautionary statements combined statements reproduced whole, never split
Pictograms and signal word
Inventory status per jurisdiction, each stated individually
Restrictions entry and scope where one applies
Authorisation entry and sunset date where one applies
Candidate list status and the supply-chain duty it triggers
Transport entry per mode — road, sea, air
Exposure limits per country, each naming the act it comes from
Document status revision date and the amendment in force when issued
Fields with no established status say so. This page never states that no restrictions apply — absence from a dataset is not clearance, and a document that treats it as clearance is the most dangerous kind of document in this field.
A digital PDF safety data sheet in the sixteen-section structure of REACH Annex II (Regulation 1907/2006).
Substance identification, hazard classification, physicochemical, toxicological and ecological information, and regulatory references.
Classification read against the harmonised entry in CLP Annex VI where one exists for the substance.
A version number, a compilation date, and the source behind each value that carries one.
Delivery by e-mail. Nothing is shipped.
What this is not
Not a chemical substance, not a sample, not any physical goods.
Not a certification. No official certification scheme for safety data sheets exists in the European Union.
Not legal approval, and not a guarantee of compliance in any jurisdiction.
Not a substitute for your own regulatory assessment, nor for the safety data sheet supplied by the manufacturer or importer of the substance you actually hold.
Not adapted to a specific workplace, process or national annex unless you provide that information.
Where the available evidence does not support a value, the sheet states that the value is not established rather than estimating one. A field with no recorded source is marked as such.
What is in the buyer pack
Everything your compliance officer will ask for, in one file.
The product page as PDF — the record as published, so what you forward matches what you read.
The safety data sheet at your entitlement level — sixteen sections in the order set by REACH Annex II, for this substance, in the language you select.
The CLP label artwork — generated from the same classification as the sheet, so the two cannot disagree.
The specification, and the certificate of analysis where batch data exists.
sources.txt — every citation with the date it was read.
An explicit list of what we could not establish — fields marked unavailable rather than filled with an estimate. This is the honest part of the document and we do not hide it in a footnote.
Your European buyer is going to forward this to somebody who was not on the call. The pack exists so that what they forward is complete, self-explanatory and traceable — rather than four attachments and a sentence beginning “I think this is everything”.
These switch the language of this page. Single substances. Mixtures on enquiry. One document, one language — additional languages are priced separately. Every version, including the Chinese one, is written to EU law — (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH) Annex II and (EU) 2020/878 — and translated from it. The Chinese version is a reference translation, not a legally valid document for the Chinese market: an SDS for China must be compiled separately to GB/T 16483 and GB/T 17519.

About the downloads (Type of data: Predicted (calculated by nmrshiftdb2, not measured) — inferred: the source file carries no deposited measurement) JCAMP: the NMRShiftDB file as received (JCAMP-DX 5.01 text). It is a peak list: chemical shift in ppm. MolGod adds header lines stating the type of data; the values are unchanged. CSV: the same peak list in two columns. The second column repeats the shift value; it is not a signal intensity. Lines starting with # state the type of data. PNG: a picture of the plot above, with the type of data written on it. Use: where signals are expected or were reported (chemical shift positions). Not included or guaranteed: intensities, multiplicities, coupling constants, line shapes, and solvent or temperature unless stated. A predicted list is not a measurement and cannot serve as a reference spectrum for identity or purity testing. Downloads become active after Show.
Data is fetched once (JCAMP-DX parser) and stored in the plugin's local database. No duplicate downloads, no NIST queries on subsequent openings. Licences respected (only a deep link plus our own visualisation is published).
Data retrieved live from multiple sources (priority chain). JCAMP-DX / CSV / PNG available for download under each spectrum.

🎓 Spectrum interpretation guide (for students)
Explanations of every band in the spectrum — why it appears where it does, and what it indicates about the structure.
IR (infrared) (3 peaks)
The IR (infrared) spectrum contains 3 structurally identified bands (out of 4 detected in total: 1 outside recognised ranges). The analysis below explains what each one means structurally and why it appears in that particular range.
C–H bend (CH3, CH2 — methyl/methylene)CH3/CH2● high
Band "C–H bend (CH3, CH2 — methyl/methylene)" appears in cases: 1,466.0 cm⁻¹ (weak (w)), 2,882.0 cm⁻¹ (medium (m)), 2,938.0 cm⁻¹ (strong (s)). This is the stretching vibration of aliphatic sp³ C–H bonds. Present in virtually every organic compound with an alkyl chain.

Why this page can be checked
Identity
CAS, EC and molecular formula, resolved across the identifier systems a buyer uses. The count of systems resolved is shown, so you can see how well characterised this substance is rather than assuming.
Data
Every physicochemical value carries the source it came from and the date that source was read. Open any of them.
Classification
Read against the harmonised entry where one exists, with the index number stated. Self-classification is shown separately and labelled.
Regulatory
Inventory, restriction, authorisation and candidate-list status, each stated individually. Where a status is not established, this page says so — it never says no restrictions apply.
Documentation
Which documents exist, at what review level, in which languages, and when each was issued.
Supplier
Who is selling this, and what they have published about themselves.
Nothing on this page is a certification. It is a record you can audit.
Two guarantees, both with their limits stated
The Gap Report Guarantee
If the available evidence cannot support a defensible document for your CAS number and product specification, we will not invent the missing values. You receive a documented gap report and choose: a refund, store credit, or the report on its own.
A visible gap is worth more than a plausible number, because the plausible number is the one that fails when somebody checks it.
The Re-issue Promise
If a signed card is rejected by an authority or by a customer’s compliance officer on one of the points we checked and reported as passed, we re-issue it corrected at no charge and credit the original fee.
This covers the checks we performed and named. It does not cover registration status, tonnage, or your role in the supply chain — those are not ours to hold, and a guarantee that pretended otherwise would be worth nothing.

Protective equipment and exposure controls
Section 8 outlines exposure controls and personal protective equipment (PPE) for n-hexane: appropriate glove materials, eye protection, respiratory protection when warranted by the hazard classification, and any established occupational exposure limits. The choice of glove material is more critical than merely wearing gloves; nitrile gloves are not universally suitable.
First-aid content and why it is read first
The first-aid information for CAS 110-54-3 must be understandable and actionable by someone without a chemistry background when following instructions under time pressure. Section 4 includes additional notes intended for medical professionals, where the classification’s clinical relevance is detailed.
What concentration limits apply to n-hexane?
The harmonised entry for n-hexane carries specific concentration limits: H373: C ≥ 5 %. These override the generic cut-off values, so a mixture containing n-hexane is classified against these figures and not against the default thresholds.
What is the EC number for n-hexane?
Alongside CAS 110-54-3, this substance carries EC number 203-777-6 and Annex VI index 601-037-00-0. European documentation is built around the EC number as often as around the CAS: registration dossiers, the candidate list and customs systems key on it. A safety data sheet quoting only one of the two forces every downstream reader to look up the other.
What is the CLP classification of n-hexane?
The harmonised classification for CAS 110-54-3 carries 7 hazard statements: H225, H361f, H304, H336, H372 (nervous system), H315, H411. In plain terms this means highly flammable liquid and vapour; H361f; may be fatal if swallowed and enters airways; may cause drowsiness or dizziness. A harmonised entry is binding across the Union — an importer may not soften it, and a self-classification that diverges from it will not survive an enforcement check.
Identifiers that must agree
Three identifiers accompany this substance, and all must align: the CAS number 110-54-3, the Annex VI index number 601-037-00-0, and the name as listed in the register. Incongruent identifiers represent the subtlest flaw in a documentation set, as each individual document appears correct until a cross-check reveals they describe distinct entities.
Accidental release and containment
A spill of CAS 110-54-3 is handled from section 6, which has to state the containment material and the protective equipment needed to approach. A sheet that describes cleanup without stating what to wear while doing it is incomplete.
Is n-hexane on the SVHC candidate list?
Yes — n-hexane appears on the candidate list of substances of very high concern. That triggers duties that classification alone does not: notification to ECHA above the tonnage threshold, and an obligation to inform recipients where the substance is present in an article above 0.1 % by weight.
What is the UN number for n-hexane?
For carriage, n-hexane is assigned UN 1208, transport class 3, packing group II. These entries belong in section 14 of the safety data sheet and must match the shipping papers exactly. A consignment where the sheet and the transport document disagree on the UN number is stopped before anyone reads the remaining fifteen sections.
How is n-hexane classified for road, sea and air transport?
Carriers and forwarders handling n-hexane compare section 14 against the shipping papers before loading. Any disagreement stops the consignment at the point where correcting it is most expensive.
Documentation demand on the EU market
CAS 110-54-3 has a recorded presence on the European trading market, which means documentation for it is requested routinely rather than exceptionally. Substances that move in commerce attract repeat scrutiny: the same sheet is read by successive customers, carriers and authorities, and a defect that survives the first reading rarely survives the tenth.
Storage and handling in the document
Section 7 of the documentation for n-hexane outlines handling and storage procedures, including incompatible materials, conditions to be avoided, and any segregation requirements arising from its classification. Laboratories reviewing this section require explicit instructions rather than general warnings; for instance, a statement such as ‘store in a cool dry place’ is insufficient, as it leaves the responsibility of defining specific storage conditions to the personnel.
Which GHS pictograms apply to n-hexane?
The label for n-hexane carries GHS02 (flame), GHS07 (exclamation mark), GHS08 (health hazard), GHS09 (environment), with the signal word Danger. These are not chosen by the supplier: CLP Annex VI states them for CAS 110-54-3, and the precedence rules in Annex I decide which pictogram is dropped when two would say the same thing. A label showing a different set from the register is wrong even if every hazard statement on it is correct.
What must the label for n-hexane contain?
The supply label for n-hexane is generated from the same classification that drives the safety data sheet: pictograms selected by precedence, one signal word derived from the highest hazard class present, and the hazard statements H225, H361f, H304… reproduced in full. Where the container is too small to carry the complete set at a legible size, there are lawful ways to handle it and unlawful ones that look identical to a non-specialist.
What do customs check when importing n-hexane?
When a consignment of n-hexane is stopped at the border, the document examined first is rarely the invoice. It is section 14 of the safety data sheet and its agreement with the transport papers. A missing packing group, an absent UN number or a proper shipping name that contradicts the classification of CAS 110-54-3 will hold the pallet regardless of how complete the remaining fifteen sections are.
Questions about documentation for n-hexane
What is the CAS number of n-hexane?
CAS 110-54-3. In CLP Annex VI the same substance carries index number 601-037-00-0, and both identifiers should appear in the documentation.
What hazard statements apply to CAS 110-54-3?
The harmonised entry lists H225, H361f, H304, H336. These are binding across the Union and may not be softened by a self-classification.
In which language must the sheet be supplied?
In an official language of each Member State where n-hexane is placed on the market, unless that State has stated otherwise.
Can I check whether my existing sheet is still valid?
Yes. A section-by-section reading against Annex II and the current harmonised entry establishes that in one pass, and a sheet that passes is reported as passing.

When you get it
Immediately after payment
Within 72 hours of complete input
Nothing stops you sending a draft to anyone. "Not written for this" means exactly that: it carries no signature and no fields adapted to your company, so it will not answer the questions the recipient is about to ask.
What the signature means
Who prepares the document
The document is generated by the MolGod engine from ECHA CLP Annex VI and the cited public sources, then read section by section by a qualified scientific reviewer with a degree in chemistry or a related scientific field.
What the review covers
The sheet is read section by section against the REACH Annex II structure. GHS classification and transport entries are checked against the sources cited in the document, and the sheet is adapted to the company, product grade and identified use you provide.
What is NOT verified
We do not test your material and we cannot confirm what is physically in your container: composition, concentration, impurities or manufacturing route. Those come from you and are reproduced as supplied.
What the signature is — and is not
The signature records that a qualified scientific reviewer read the document. It is not a government approval, not an ECHA approval, and not a legal certification — no such certification exists for safety data sheets in the EU. A signature does not by itself make a document legally valid or make your business compliant.
What you receive
A PDF in the 16-section REACH Annex II structure, signed and dated, with version information and a list of anything we could not establish. Five rounds of corrections are included.
Delivery
Within 72 hours of receiving complete input from you. The clock pauses whenever we are waiting on an answer.
Refunds
Full refund before review begins. If the evidence is insufficient, you choose a refund, store credit or a gap report. See the refund policy.
No fabricated-data guarantee.
If the available evidence is insufficient to support a defensible document for this CAS number and your product specification, we will not invent the missing values. You may choose a refund, store credit or a documented gap report.
The supplier placing the substance or mixture on the market remains responsible for ensuring that the final safety data sheet matches the material, its identified uses and their legal role in the supply chain.

FAQ — frequently asked questions about PXRD
What is the COD (Crystallography Open Database)?
COD is a free database of open crystal structures (crystallography.net/cod) with more than 533,000 entries. Every structure has a CIF file (Crystallographic Information File) with complete data: cell parameters, space group, atomic coordinates, publication DOI. The data is available under a CC0 licence (public domain).
How is the PXRD data from this accordion used in the laboratory?
Record the 2θ and I/I₀ values from the peak table. Measure the PXRD pattern of the sample on a powder diffractometer (Cu Kα). Compare peak positions to ±0.2° and the relative intensities. If at least 3 major peaks agree — the sample has an identical polymorphic form. Deviations > 0.5° may indicate a different form, contamination or lattice strain.
What is the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD)?
The CSD (Cambridge Structural Database) is a commercial CCDC database with 1.3 million organic and metal-organic structures — the gold standard of crystallography. Every structure has a unique refcode (e.g. ACSALA01 = aspirin Form I). Access requires a licence (~USD 5,775/year academic). WebCSD (searching individual structures) and Mercury (visualisation) are free.
How does SCXRD differ from PXRD?
SCXRD (Single Crystal XRD) uses a single crystal and gives full three-dimensional structural data (atomic coordinates, bond lengths). PXRD uses a powder and gives a diffraction pattern. SCXRD is more accurate, but requires a good crystal. PXRD is faster, cheaper, and is used for phase identification, analysis of mixtures and quality control.
