About Cyclohexanone(CYC;CAS 108-94-1)
Cyclohexanone (CAS 108-94-1), an organic compound with the chemical formula C₆H₁₀O, is a saturated cyclic ketone in which the carbonyl carbon is included within a six-membered ring. It is a colorless, transparent liquid with an earthy odor; when containing trace amounts of phenol, it exhibits a minty scent. Impure samples appear pale yellow, developing color over time due to impurity formation, ranging from watery white to grayish yellow, with a strong, pungent odor. Its explosive limits when mixed with air are identical to those of open-chain saturated ketones. Industrially, it is primarily used as an organic synthesis feedstock and solvent, capable of dissolving nitrocellulose, coatings, paints, and similar materials.

cyclohexanone uses
- Chemical Feedstock: Cyclohexanone 108 94 1 is a key intermediate in manufacturing nylon, caprolactam, and adipic acid-substances widely used in plastics, fibers, and pharmaceuticals.
- Industrial Solvent: It is extensively used in the paint industry, particularly in paints containing nitrocellulose, vinyl chloride polymers and their copolymers, or methacrylate polymers. Additionally, cyclohexanone solvent serves as a solvent for organophosphorus insecticides and many similar pesticides, a solvent for dyes, and a viscosity-modifying solvent in piston-type aviation lubricants.
- Other Applications: Cyclohexanone solvent also serves as a solvent for esters, waxes, and rubber; a homogenizer for dyeing and bleaching filaments; a degreaser for polishing metals; a high-boiling-point solvent for wood stains, lacquers, and cosmetics like nail polish.
Cyclohexanone Hazards
Cyclohexanone is a hazardous organic chemical compound. Care needs to be taken when handling as it can be dangerous. Repeated skin contact or exposure causes dermatitis. To prevent skin irritation, chemical resistant gloves should be worn when handling this chemical.
If inhaled, the product will irritate the respiratory system. The irritation in the nose and throat can cause coughing and wheezing. Exposure can also cause headaches, dizziness, lightheadedness, and passing out.
