What is Cyclohexane?
Cyclohexane (CAS 110-82-7) is a saturated cyclic hydrocarbon with a mild, sweet odor. It is primarily used as a non-polar solvent and chemical intermediate, especially in the production of nylon precursors such as cyclohexanone and adipic acid.
Applications Across Industries
Chemical Synthesis
Precursor to caprolactam and adipic acid for nylon production.
Extraction
Non-polar solvent for fats, waxes and oils.
Adhesives
Component in formulation of certain contact adhesives.
Laboratory Use
Used in organic chemistry for non-polar compound dissolution.
