Product Information

Cyclohexanone is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H10O. It is a saturated cyclic ketone in which the carbonyl carbon atom is included within a six-membered ring. Colorless and transparent liquid, with an earthy smell. When it contains trace amounts of phenol, it has a minty flavor. The impurity is light yellow. As it is stored for a long time, impurities form and it turns color, ranging from water white to grayish yellow, and has a strong pungent odor. The explosive electrode mixed with air is the same as that of open-chain saturated ketones. It is mainly used as an organic synthesis raw material and solvent in industry. For instance, it can dissolve nitrocellulose, coatings, paints, etc.

  2. Chemical Properties:
    · A typical ketone, undergoes nucleophilic addition reactions (e.g., with hydroxylamine to form an oxime).
    · Can be oxidized (to adipic acid) or reduced (to cyclohexanol) under catalytic conditions.
    · Can undergo self-condensation in strong acids.
    · The key precursor for the Beckmann rearrangement in the production of caprolactam.

Product Usage

  1. Nylon Industry: Serves as the core intermediate, oxidized to produce adipic acid (for Nylon 66) or oximated/Beckmann rearranged to produce caprolactam (for Nylon 6).

  2. Solvent: As a high-efficiency solvent, widely used in PVC, coatings, inks, paints, leather processing, and adhesive industries, particularly effective in dissolving nitrocellulose and synthetic resins.

  3. Chemical Synthesis: Used as a starting material or reaction medium for producing pharmaceuticals, pesticides, dyes, and other fine chemicals.

  4. Metal Treatment: Used for degreasing and cleaning metal parts.

  5. Other Applications: Used as a solvent for wood stains, stabilizer for plastic cracking, etc.

Safety Matters


  1. Health Hazards:
    · Irritating to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
    · Inhalation of vapor may cause headache, nausea, dizziness and other symptoms of central nervous system depression. High exposure may cause narcosis.
    · Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis and can be absorbed through the skin.

  2. Handling Protection:
    · Handle with local exhaust or good general ventilation.
    · Wear chemical safety goggles, impermeable gloves and appropriate respiratory protection.
    · Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
    · Do not eat or smoke in work area.

  3. Storage & Transportation:
    · Store in a cool, well-ventilated, dry place away from heat and ignition sources.
    · Keep containers tightly closed due to its hygroscopic nature.
    · Store separately from strong oxidizers, strong reducing agents, and strong bases.
    · Use explosion-proof equipment and grounding.

  4. Fire Fighting:
    · Flammable liquid, flash point 44°C (closed cup). Its vapor can form explosive mixtures with air.
    · Use alcohol-resistant foam, dry powder, CO2 or water spray to extinguish fire.
    · Use water spray to cool exposed containers and prevent explosion.
    · Firefighters must wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
