Cyclohexane

Cyclohexane appears as a clear colorless liquid with a petroleum-like odor. Cyclohexane is an alicyclic hydrocarbon comprising a ring of six carbon atoms; the cyclic form of hexane.  It has a role as a non-polar solvent. It is a cycloalkane and a volatile organic compound. Cyclohexane is insoluble in water, soluble in most organic solvents. Very easy to burn. It is mainly used as a raw material in the manufacture of nylon. It can also be used in resins, coatings, fats, paraffin oils, and can also be used to prepare organic substances such as cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone.

1. This product is used as a solvent for rubber, coatings and varnishes, a diluent for adhesives, and an oil extractant. Due to its low toxicity, it is often used instead of benzene for degreasing, de-greasing and paint removal. It is mainly used in the manufacture of adipic acid, hexamethylenediamine and caprolactam, which are monomers for nylon, and also as a raw material for the production of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone.

2. Used as an analytical reagent, such as a solvent and a standard substance for chromatographic analysis. Also used in organic synthesis.

3. Used for complexometric titration of copper, iron, silicon, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, etc.; standard substance for chromatographic analysis.

4. Used as a photoresist solvent.

5. Used for the extraction of essential oils.

6. Cyclohexane is used as a cleaning and degreasing agent. MOS grade is mainly used for discrete devices, medium and large-scale integrated circuits, while BV-Ⅲ grade is mainly used for ultra-large-scale integrated circuits.
