Cyclohexane CAS 110-82-7 | Industrial Grade Solvent & Nylon Intermediate
Sinochem is a major Cyclohexane supplier. Meanwhile, our firm staffs a group of experts devoted to your development of China Cyclohexane.
Cyclohexane (Hexahydrobenzene) is a colorless, flammable liquid with a distinctive pungent odor, represented by the chemical formula C6H12. As a critical cycloalkane, it is insoluble in water but exhibits excellent solubility in ethanol, ether, benzene, and acetone. Our Cyclohexane is processed to a high purity of 99.9%, serving as a premium solvent and a fundamental building block in the global polymer industry, particularly for the synthesis of Adipic Acid and Caprolactam.
-
Ultra-High Purity: ≥ 99.90% purity ensures minimal interference in sensitive catalytic reactions and analytical processes.
-
Low Benzene Content: Refined to contain ≤ 50 mg/kg of benzene, making it a safer alternative for degreasing and cleaning.
-
Stable Chemical Profile: Excellent thermal stability and non-corrosive nature for industrial-scale storage and transport.
Cyclohexane Description

Storage & Safety Management:
-
Environment: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated dedicated warehouse. Keep the storage temperature below 29℃.
-
Fire Prevention: As a Class 3 flammable liquid, keep strictly away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation systems.
-
Electrostatic Control: Containers and receiving equipment must be grounded to prevent static accumulation during transfer.
-
Handling: Avoid contact with strong oxidants. Operators should wear anti-static clothing and protective gloves to prevent skin irritation.

Cyclohexane Applications
- Nylon Industry Intermediate: The primary raw material for producing Adipic Acid, Hexamethylenediamine, and Caprolactam—the essential monomers for Nylon 6 and Nylon 66.
- Industrial Solvent & Diluent: Widely used in the manufacturing of rubber, paints, varnishes, and high-performance adhesives. It is an ideal agent for degreasing and depainting due to its balanced evaporation rate.
- Electronics & Semiconductor (MOS Grade): High-purity grades are utilized as cleaning agents for discrete devices and as solvents in photoresist formulations for integrated circuits.
- Laboratory & Chemical Analysis: Acts as a standard substance for chromatographic analysis and a solvent for complexometric titration of metals (Copper, Iron, Silicon, etc.).
- Essential Oil Extraction: Used as a non-polar extractant in the fragrance and pharmaceutical industries.
