Product Information

Cyclohexane, with the chemical formula C₆H₁₂, is an important alicyclic hydrocarbon and a fundamental organic chemical raw material. It appears as a colorless transparent liquid with a pronounced gasoline-like odor. It is highly volatile and flammable, serving as a typical non-polar solvent. Its primary application is as a crucial precursor for producing Nylon-6 and Nylon-66 (via cyclohexanone/cyclohexanol, i.e., KA Oil). Additionally, it is widely used as an excellent solvent in coatings, adhesives, and other industries.

Product Usage


  1. Chemical Raw Material: The most critical basic raw material for manufacturing Nylon-6 (via caprolactam) and Nylon-66 (via adipic acid).

  2. Industrial Solvent: Serves as an excellent non-polar solvent in the production of resins, rubber, coatings, inks, and adhesives.

  3. Chemical Synthesis: Used as a reaction medium and for various chemical intermediates in organic synthesis.

  4. Extraction & Cleaning: Employed for the extraction of plant oils and fragrances, and as a component in certain industrial cleaning agents.

  5. Analytical Testing: Used as a solvent or reagent in laboratory analytical methods such as gas chromatography.

Safety Matters


  1. Health Hazards:
    · Vapor is irritating to eyes, respiratory tract and skin.
    · Inhalation of high concentrations has narcotic effects, may cause headache, dizziness, nausea, ataxia, and in severe cases, coma.
    · Prolonged skin contact may cause dermatitis.

  2. Handling Protection:
    · Must be handled in a fume hood or with adequate ventilation.
    · Wear chemical safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, and appropriate respiratory protection.
    · Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
    · Do not eat, drink or smoke in work area.
    · Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling.

  3. Storage & Transportation:
    · Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat sources, preferably in an explosion-proof refrigerator (due to relatively high melting point).
    · Keep containers tightly closed. Guard against electrostatic charge buildup.
    · Store separately from strong oxidizers (e.g., conc. nitric acid, permanganates) and clearly label.
    · Use explosion-proof equipment and grounding measures.

  4. Fire Fighting:
    · Highly flammable liquid, flash point -20°C (closed cup), extreme fire hazard.
    · Vapor can form explosive mixtures with air.
    · Use foam, dry powder, or CO2 to extinguish fire. Do NOT use water jet on liquid.
    · Use water spray to cool exposed containers and prevent explosion.
    · Firefighters must wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full firefighting gear.
