Description

Cyclohexanol CAS NO 108-93-0 is a versatile secondary alcohol and a key intermediate in industrial organic synthesis. It is a critical building block for the production of nylon and other high-performance polymers, offering reliable quality and consistent performance for demanding manufacturing processes. This compound is essential for chemical manufacturers, polymer producers, and laboratories involved in the synthesis of adipic acid, plasticizers, and specialty solvents.

Application

• Primary intermediate in the production of adipic acid and caprolactam, the fundamental monomers for Nylon 6,6 and Nylon 6.
• Manufacture of plasticizers (e.g., dicyclohexyl phthalate) for PVC and other polymers.
• Solvent for resins, lacquers, paints, and inks due to its good solvency properties.
• Production of cyclohexanone via catalytic dehydrogenation or oxidation.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of stabilizers, detergents, and textile finishing agents.
• Raw material for herbicides and other agrochemical products.
• Used in the fragrance and flavor industry as a precursor for certain aroma chemicals.
• Employed as a homogenizer in soap and detergent formulations.
