Cyclohexanone

Cyclohexanone is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H10O, which is a saturated cyclic ketone whose carbonyl carbon atom is included in a six-membered ring. Colorless, clear liquid with an earthy, minty odor when it contains traces of phenols. Impurity is light yellow, and it develops color as impurities are generated during storage time. It is water-white to gray-yellow, and has a strong pungent odor. Mixed with air, the explosion pole is the same as the open chain saturated ketone. It is mainly used as a raw material and solvent for organic synthesis in industry, for example, it can dissolve nitrocellulose, coatings, paints, etc.

The main purpose
Cyclohexanone is an important chemical raw material and the main intermediate in the manufacture of nylon, caprolactam and adipic acid. It is also an important industrial solvent, such as for paints, especially those containing nitrocellulose, vinyl chloride polymers and their copolymers or methacrylate polymers. It is used as an excellent solvent for organophosphorus pesticides and many similar pesticides, as a solvent for dyes, as a viscous solvent for piston-type aviation lubricants, and as a solvent for grease, wax and rubber. Also used as a leveling agent for dyeing and matting silk, a degreaser for polishing metals, and wood coloring and varnishing. Used as a high boiling point solvent for cosmetics such as nail polish. It is usually formulated into a mixed solvent with a low boiling point solvent and a medium boiling point solvent to obtain a suitable volatilization speed and viscosity.

Storage Precautions
Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 30℃. Keep container tightly closed. It should be stored separately from oxidants, reducing agents, etc., and should not be mixed. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. Prohibit the use of mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. Storage areas should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.
Packaging precautions: ordinary wooden boxes outside ampoules; ordinary wooden boxes outside screw-top glass bottles, iron-capped glass bottles, plastic bottles or metal barrels (cans); screw-top glass bottles, plastic bottles or tin-plated steel drums ( Tanks) with a full floor grate box, fiberboard box or plywood box.
