Cyclohexanone CAS#108-94-1
Cyclohexanone is a colorless, clear liquid with soil smell; its impure product appears as light yellow color. It is miscible with several other solvents. easily soluble in ethanol and ether. The lower exposure limit is 1.1% and the upper exposure limit is 9.4%. Cyclohexanone may be incompatible with oxidizers and nitric acid.
Cyclohexanone is a primarily used in industry, up to 96%, as a chemical intermediate in the production of nylons 6 and 66. Oxidation or conversion of cyclohexanone yields adipic acid and caprolactam, two of the immediate precursors to the respective nylons. Cyclohexanone can also be used as a solvent in a variety of products, including paints, lacquers, and resins. It has not been found to occur in natural processes.

Product Application of Cyclohexanone CAS#108-94-1
Cyclohexanone is mostly captively consumed, either isolated or as a mixture, in the production of nylon intermediates (adipic acid and Caprolactam). Around 4% is consumed in markets other than nylon, such as solvents for paints, dyes and pesticides. Cyclohexanone is also used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, films, soaps and coatings.
Fibrant is one of the largest producers of Cyclohexanone, a raw material used in the production of Caprolactam.
