Clear colorless liquid with a petroleum-like odor.
Cyclohexane is a non-polar organic colourless solvent. Cyclohexane is a colorless, flammable liquid with a distinctive detergent-like odor, reminiscent of cleaning products in which it is sometimes used. Cyclohexane is mainly used for the industrial production of adipic acid and caprolactam, which are precursors to nylon.
Major Applications of Cyclohexane
1. Nylon Manufacturing
Cyclohexane is an important raw material in the manufacture of nylon intermediates, particularly adipic acid and caprolactam. These intermediates are subsequently used in nylon production.
2. Industrial Solvent
Cyclohexane is used as a non-polar organic solvent in applications involving materials such as:
Resins
Oils
Waxes
Rubber
Adhesives
Certain coatings
Organic compounds
Its solvent properties make it useful in selected chemical and manufacturing processes.
3. Chemical Manufacturing
Cyclohexane serves as a chemical intermediate in the production of various organic chemicals, including cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone and other downstream products.
4. Paint and Coating Applications
Cyclohexane has been used as a solvent in selected lacquer, resin, paint and varnish applications. Its use should always be based on the formulation manufacturer's compatibility and safety requirements.
5. Adhesives and Rubber Processing
As a non-polar solvent, cyclohexane can be used in selected adhesive and rubber-processing applications where its solvent characteristics are appropriate.
6. Laboratory and Analytical Applications
High-purity cyclohexane grades are used as laboratory solvents and in analytical chemistry. Commercial purity should be selected according to the analytical method and required specification.
Cyclohexane frequently used as a recrystallization solvent, as many organic compounds exhibit good solubility in hot cyclohexane and poor solubility at low temperatures.

CYCLOHEXANE is a clear colorless liquid with a petroleum-like odor. Used to make nylon, as a solvent, paint remover, and to make other chemicals. Flash point -4°F. Density 6.5 lb / gal
Original cyclohexanes are almost not water-soluble, owing to the six-membered rings do not possess polar groups to support the solubility in water but promote the solubility in nonpolar solvent. The light structure of the carbocyclic ring gives cyclohexane a low boiling point and melting point, thus they are commonly presented as colorless liquid.
