Isooctane Pure from Chevron Phillips Chemical Company is high-purity, 99% isooctane, also known as 2,2,4-trimethylpentane.
Isooctane Pure is a high-purity, organic hydrocarbon solvent with a standard 100 point on the octane rating scale. Isooctane, also known as 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, is an isomer of octane and has the chemical formula C8H18. It is highly flammable and volatile, and a critical component in gasoline production to increase knock resistance in the base fuel. It is virtually insoluble in water but demonstrates good solubility in most organic solvents. Isooctane Pure is also used in various industries and applications that require a high-purity, volatile, inert, organic solvent, such as pharmaceutical synthesis, refinery operations, and laboratory analytical techniques, including chromatography and extraction. Because of its solvency, it has application in industrial cleaners and degreasers, adhesives, paints, and varnishes. The solvent can also be used to dilute viscous greases and oils for easier application.
