Cyclohexanol
CAS Number: 108-93-0
Cyclohexanol (≥99.0%) is a cyclic secondary alcohol used primarily as an industrial intermediate for nylon-6,6 (via adipic acid) and caprolactam (nylon-6) production. It also serves as a high-boiling solvent for resins, lacquers, and plasticizers, and is a precursor for cyclohexyl esters.
