Cyclohexanone/CYC

Product Description:

Cyclohexanone is a colorless, clear liquid with soil smell; its impure product appears as light yellow color. It is miscible with several other solvents. easily soluble in ethanol and ether. The lower exposure limit is 1.1% and the upper exposure limit is 9.4%. Cyclohexanone may be incompatible with oxidizers and nitric acid.Cyclohexanone is a primarily used in industry, up to 96%, as a chemical intermediate in the production of nylons 6 and 66.Oxidation or conversion of cyclohexanone yields adipic acid and caprolactam, two of the immediate precursors to the respective nylons. Cyclohexanone can also be used as a solvent in a variety of products, including paints, lacquers, and resins. It has not been found to occur in natural processes.

CYC Application

1. Cyclohexanone is an important chemical raw material and the main intermediate of nylon, caprolactam and adipic acid.

2. CYC  is also an important industrial solvent, such as for paint, especially for those containing nitrocellulose, vinyl chloride polymer and its copolymer or methacrylate polymer paint.

3. An excellent solvent for organophosphorus pesticides and many analogues, as a solvent for dyes, as a viscous solvent for piston aviation lubricants, as a solvent for fats, waxes and rubbers.

4.  It is also used as a homogenizing agent for dyeing and fading silk, a degreasing agent for polishing metals, and a wood coloring paint.

5.  Used as a high boiling point solvent in cosmetics such as nail polish. It is usually mixed with low boiling point solvent and medium boiling point solvent to obtain suitable volatilization rate and viscosity.
