Cyclohexanone

CAS NO：

108-94-1

Cyclohexanone is primarily used as a raw material for caprolactam and adipic acid, and also serves as a high-boiling solvent, a paint stripper, and an emulsifier; it is additionally employed as a plasticizer and a detergent precursor. Oxidation of cyclohexanone yields adipic acid, which is a key feedstock for the production of nylon‑66. As an important chemical intermediate, cyclohexanone is a major precursor in the manufacture of nylon, caprolactam, and adipic acid. It is also a significant industrial solvent, widely utilized in paints—particularly those containing nitrocellulose, vinyl chloride polymers and their copolymers, or methyl methacrylate polymers. Typically, it is blended with low‑boiling and medium‑boiling solvents to formulate mixed solvents, thereby achieving appropriate evaporation rates and viscosities.

Purpose

Cyclohexanone is primarily used as a raw material for caprolactam and adipic acid; it also serves as a high-boiling solvent, a paint stripper, and an emulsifier, and is employed in the production of plasticizers and detergents. Oxidation of cyclohexanone yields adipic acid, which is a key feedstock for the synthesis of nylon‑66. As an important chemical intermediate, cyclohexanone is a major precursor in the manufacture of nylon, caprolactam, and adipic acid. It is also a valuable industrial solvent, particularly in applications involving paints containing nitrocellulose, vinyl chloride polymers and their copolymers, or methyl methacrylate polymers. Typically, it is blended with low‑boiling and medium‑boiling solvents to formulate mixed solvents that achieve appropriate evaporation rates and viscosities.

Packaging and Storage & Transportation

Cyclohexanone may be packaged and transported in well-sealed glass bottles or corrosion-resistant high-density polyethylene plastic drums; however, glass bottles with superior sealing are recommended. Additionally, during storage and transport, care should be taken to prevent leakage and to avoid contact with other substances.

Packaging specifications: Drainage or 190 kg/drum
