Description

Ethylcyclohexane is a saturated alicyclic hydrocarbon, specifically a cycloalkane with an ethyl substituent. This compound serves as a valuable non-polar solvent and a versatile chemical intermediate in organic synthesis. It is primarily utilized in industries such as polymer research, specialty chemical manufacturing, and as a reference standard in analytical chemistry. Ethylcyclohexane CAS NO 1678-91-7 is known for its stability and low reactivity under standard conditions.

Application

• As a non-polar solvent for resins, polymers, and organic reactions.
• As a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules.
• As a reference standard and calibrant in gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry.
• In polymer science research for studying solubility parameters and polymer behavior.
• As a reaction medium for hydrogenation and other catalytic processes.
• In the formulation of specialty lubricants and functional fluids.
• For fuel and octane rating research due to its defined hydrocarbon structure.

Quality Control

Our Ethylcyclohexane is produced and handled under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for industrial and research use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

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