Would n-HEXANE 85% [AR] be better than naptha for doing pulls ?

No idea, just looking for cheaper option than getting 133ml lighter fluids, vs 2.5l hexane .

not really

hexane is like heptane (bestine); it's best left for recrystallization

I pulled this with n-heptane.
Got over 1% yield.
And I even thought I was using naptha so I didn't heat things up much.
Should have been able to squeeze more out of the bark.

first off where are you getting hexane? i wouldnt be happy knowing its only 85%.

swims used some lab grade hexane for re-x with ok results but found heptane to be better and cheaper.

do you have access to xylene? that would pull more than hexane or heptane but needs re-x several times in swims opinion

around here you can get naptha for about 12-14/gallon at hardware stores instead of doing it in ronsonol bottles. have you looked for it in other forms then the good ol lighter fluid?

but back to hexane. i wouldnt be comfortable using 85% hexane unless i knew what the 15% was. even then i'd be curious if it is hexane or hexanes?
Who's this SWIM person and when do I get to meet them? They sound friken cool!
