	Hexane has several important uses. Hexane is used frequently in the production and extraction of edible oils from nut and vegetable crops, such as soybeans and peanuts. As well, hexane has several industrial uses. Primarily, when used in commercial grades, hexane is used as a solvent for glues and varnishes where water cannot be used. This is because of the fact that hexane works as a solvent where water does not, due primarily to its polarity. It is also used as a cleaning agent known as a ''degreaser'' in the printing industry.<ref name=usepa/>		<!--T:3-->
