Molecular weight: 144.21
Boiling point: Approx. 169–171°C (n-hexyl ester)
Density: Approx. 0.876–0.880 g/cm³ (20°C)
Refractive index: n²⁰ᴅ ≈ 1.409
Solubility: Insoluble in water (<0.1 g/100 mL); miscible with ethanol, diethyl ether, acetone, esters, and vegetable oils
Flash point: Approx. 44°C (closed cup); flammable liquid (Category 4; safer than methyl or amyl acetate)
Vapor pressure: Very low at 20°C (approx. 0.2 kPa); low volatility

Fragrances/Flavors: Formulated for green and fruity profiles (featuring top notes of pear, apple, banana peel, and tender leaves); commonly used in personal care and household products.
Solvents: Used in high-end coatings and inks requiring slow evaporation rates; also utilized for the extraction of natural products.
Organic Synthesis Intermediates: Used in the production of hexanol derivatives and specialty esters.

Toxicity: Low toxicity. Oral LD₅₀ in rats is approximately 3–5 g/kg (varying slightly by isomer); vapor irritation is minimal, though prolonged inhalation of high concentrations may cause mild anesthesia.
Skin: Low actual hazard, but prolonged contact can still cause defatting.
Storage and Transport: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from open flames; significantly safer than methyl acetate, yet still classified as a flammable liquid.
