Chemical Properties: 

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.

Application:

Industrial solvent for cellulose acetate resins, vinyl resins, rubber, and waxes; solventsealer for polyvinyl chloride; in printing industry; coating solvent in audio and videotape production
Cyclohexanone is used in the productionof adipic acid for making nylon; in thepreparation of cyclohexanone resins; and asa solvent for nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate,resins, fats, waxes, shellac, rubber, and DDT.
