Description

Cyclohexanone CAS NO 108-94-1 is a versatile, clear to pale yellow organic solvent and a critical intermediate in industrial chemistry. Its primary value lies in its excellent solvent properties and its role as a key precursor in the synthesis of nylon-6 and nylon-6,6, which are fundamental to the global polymer industry. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, paint, coating, and pharmaceutical sectors, where it is used for resin dissolution, surface preparation, and as a chemical building block.

Application

• Nylon Production: The primary industrial use is as a precursor for caprolactam and adipic acid, the monomers for nylon-6 and nylon-6,6.
• Solvent Applications: An effective solvent for resins, paints, lacquers, and cellulose acetate, particularly in surface coating formulations.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a vital intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals.
• Paint & Coating Industry: Used as a solvent and flow improver in high-performance coatings and printing inks.
• Adhesive Formulation: Employed in specific adhesive systems where its solvency and evaporation rate are advantageous.
• Leather & Textile Processing: Acts as a solvent and degreasing agent in treatment processes.

Quality Control

Our Cyclohexanone is produced under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and physical properties. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, water content, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment supports compliance with relevant industrial and supply chain standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
