CAS No：108-94-1

Product molecular structure：

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:

Cyclohexanone is an important chemical raw material and is a major intermediate in the manufacture of nylon, caprolactam and adipic acid. It is also an important industrial solvent, such as for paints, especially for those containing nitrocellulose, vinyl chloride polymers and their copolymers or methacrylate polymer paints, etc. It is used as an excellent solvent for pesticides such as organophosphorus insecticides and many analogues, as a solvent for dyes, as a viscous solvent for piston-type aviation lubricants, grease, wax and rubber. It is also used as an equalizer for dyeing and fading silk, a degreasing agent for polishing metal, and a lacquer for wood coloring. Used as a high boiling point solvent for nail polish and other cosmetics. It is usually formulated with low boiling point solvents and medium boiling point solvents to form mixed solvents to obtain suitable evaporation rate and viscosity.
