Jan 06, 2026 Leave a message

Product Introduction

Cyclohexanone is a high-purity cyclic ketone widely used as a key industrial solvent and chemical intermediate. With stable physical properties, excellent solvency, and reliable quality control, it plays a critical role in nylon production, coatings, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemical manufacturing.

 

Product Overview

Cyclohexanone is an organic compound classified as a cyclic ketone, featuring a six-membered ring structure with a carbonyl functional group. It appears as a clear, colorless liquid with a mild odor and demonstrates strong compatibility with a wide range of organic substances, making it essential in industrial and chemical synthesis applications.

Detailed Product Description

Cyclohexanone is valued across global industries for its balanced combination of chemical stability, high solvency power, and controlled reactivity. Its cyclohexanone structure enables efficient interaction with resins, polymers, and organic compounds, which is why it is extensively used as both a solvent and an intermediate.

From a physical standpoint, cyclohexanone density is approximately 0.947 g/cm³ at 20°C, offering consistent handling characteristics during storage and transportation. The cyclohexanone formula (C₆H₁₀O) and its defined cyclohexanone molecular weight ensure predictable performance in precise chemical reactions, particularly in caprolactam and adipic acid production for nylon-6 and nylon-66.

One of the key advantages of this material is its controlled volatility. The cyclohexanone boiling point (~155.6°C) allows it to remain stable under typical processing temperatures, reducing solvent loss and improving production efficiency. In coatings and inks, this property supports uniform film formation and smooth surface finishes.

In analytical and quality control processes, cyclohexanone IR spectrum data is widely used to confirm structural integrity and purity, reinforcing confidence in batch-to-batch consistency. Additionally, the molecular flexibility illustrated by cyclohexanone chair conformation contributes to its reactivity and suitability in organic synthesis pathways.

Safety and compliance are equally important. Comprehensive cyclohexanone SDS / cyclohexanone MSDS documentation is available, detailing handling guidelines, exposure controls, and regulatory compliance to meet international transportation and industrial safety standards. This transparency enhances trust and simplifies procurement for global buyers.
