What are the uses of cyclohexanone (Cyc CAS 108-94-1) ?
Approximately 80% of is used as a precursor for manufacturing nylon 6 and nylon 66. Oxidation yields adipic acid (the nylon 66 monomer), while oxamylation produces caprolactam (the nylon 6 monomer). Both materials are extensively used in synthetic fibers, engineering plastics, and automotive components.
As a primary component of cyclohexanone peroxide, this compound serves as a resin curing agent (e.g., for unsaturated polyester resins) in the production of composite materials such as fiberglass products and artificial marble.
Due to its excellent solubility in polymers like nitrocellulose and polyvinyl chloride, it is commonly used in high-grade paints, inks, and copper-clad laminate adhesives to enhance film-forming properties and leveling.
In electronic component and precision instrument manufacturing, cyclohexanone (Cyc) effectively removes grease from metal surfaces without leaving residues upon evaporation, making it suitable for precision cleaning processes.
Used in synthesizing insecticides (e.g., cyclohexanone-derived pyrethroids) and pharmaceuticals (e.g., precursors for steroid hormone synthesis).
Derivatization reactions enable production of synthetic fragrances like lily-of-the-valley aldehyde for use in cosmetic and household product fragrance formulations.
Serves as a synthetic precursor for certain antioxidants (e.g., Antioxidant 4010).
Cyclohexanone (Cyc) is classified as a Class 3 high flash point flammable liquid under hazardous materials regulations. As a Class 3 hazardous material, transportation requires appropriate hazardous materials transport certification.
Cyclohexanone (Cyc) is flammable and explosive. Keep away from ignition sources and store/use in well-ventilated areas.
Prolonged exposure may irritate skin and eyes, potentially causing inflammation. Wear appropriate protective gear during handling.
If accidentally inhaled or ingested, seek immediate medical attention.
Dispose of Cyc waste liquids in compliance with environmental regulations to prevent pollution.
