Description

Hexylcyclohexane is a high-purity alicyclic hydrocarbon, specifically a C12 branched alkane. This compound serves as a valuable, non-polar intermediate and solvent in advanced chemical synthesis and formulation. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the specialty chemicals, fragrance, and polymer industries for its unique structural properties and solvency power.

Application

• As a high-boiling, non-polar solvent for resins, polymers, and specialty coatings.
• As a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, including certain pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
• As a diluent or process aid in polymer production and plasticizer formulations.
• As a component in specialty lubricants and functional fluids requiring high thermal stability.
• In the fragrance and flavor industry as a potential carrier or base material for scent compounds.
• In research and development laboratories for chromatography and as a reference standard.

Quality Control

Our Hexylcyclohexane is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including purity assay and impurity profiling by GC, to ensure it meets exacting specifications for industrial and research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and minimize moisture uptake.
