Cyclohexane (Industrial Grade)
CAS Number: 110-82-7
Industrial-grade cyclohexane (≥99.5%) is an alicyclic hydrocarbon that serves as the primary feedstock for nylon-6 and nylon-6,6 production via oxidation to cyclohexanol/cyclohexanone (KA oil). It is also used as a non-polar solvent for resins, waxes, and oils in coatings, adhesives, and extraction applications.
