Cyclohexane is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H12, it is a colorless liquid with a peculiar odor and is often used as a solvent and reaction medium.

Cyclohexane has a ring structure consisting of six carbon atoms, each of which is connected by a covalent bond. Each carbon atom has two hydrogen atoms. Cyclohexane is a saturated hydrocarbon because it has only single bonds between the carbon atoms.

Because of its high boiling point and low polarity, cyclohexane can be used as a solvent in a wide range of chemical experiments, such as extraction, crystallization, and washing. Cyclohexane can also be used as a reaction medium for certain organic synthesis reactions because of its good solubility and inertness in many organic chemical reactions.

Cyclohexane is an important raw material for the synthesis of many chemicals. It is used in the manufacture of chemicals such as polyamides, ethers, polyurethanes and certain pharmaceuticals.

Basic information

Cyclohexane applications

Application1：This product is used as a solvent for rubber, paint and varnish, as a thinner for adhesives, and as a grease extractor. Due to the low toxicity of this product, it is often used instead of benzene for degreasing, degreasing and paint stripping. This product is mainly used for making nylon monomer adipic acid, hexamethylene diamine and caprolactam, and also used as raw material for making cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone;

Application2：Used as analytical reagents, such as solvents, standard substances for chromatographic analysis. Also used in organic synthesis;

Application3：Complexometric titration of copper, iron, silicon, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, etc. Chromatographic analysis standards;

Application4：Used as a photoresist solvent;

Application5：For the extraction of essential oils;

Application6：Cyclohexane is a cleaning and degreasing agent, MOS grade is mainly used for discrete devices, medium and large scale integrated circuits, and BV-III grade is mainly used for very large scale integrated circuits.
