Can Isohexane be used successfully for recrystallization?

Edited because the original question asked is no longer relevant.

Thank you

Just wondering the same thing
Use in food processing
According to a report by the Cornucopia Institute, hexane is used to extract oil from grains as well as protein from soy, to such an extent that in 2007, grain processors were responsible for more than two-thirds of hexane emissions in the United States.[11] The report also pointed out that the hexane can persist in the final food product created; in a sample of processed soy, the oil contained 10 ppm, the meal 21 ppm and the grits 14 ppm hexane.[11] The adverse health effects seem specific to n-hexane; they are much reduced or absent for other isomers. Therefore, the food oil extraction industry, which relied heavily on hexane, has been considering switching to other solvents, including isohexane (2-methylpentane).[12][13][14] so could that mean it will be a cleaner end product. think swim will use hexane probably tetrosyl panel wipe. has anyone had any experience with this brand

Should work fine. The difference between isohexane and hexane isn't too much.

"hexanes"

just noticed the replies! Thank you all. I have a friend who can procure this and seeing as it is safer than Hexane i will give it a go and post results.

Isomere hexane blends seem cheaper than n-hexane. Just wondering if that term "isomere blends" is iso-hexane only, or other varieties also with subsequent effects.

I have been informed that this is a blend of Hexane Isomers so could be any or all of them. I hope this helps.
