It exhibits moderate volatility, a flash point of 111 °F, and is less dense than water, meaning it will float if mixed. This technical grade offering is ideal for operations requiring a reliable, industrial-strength solvent for dissolving resins, lacquers, and polymers. Whether utilized in the synthesis of nylon 6 and nylon 6,6 or as a general process solvent, our product delivers the reliability that chemical processors expect.

Utilizing Cyclohexanone Technical Grade allows operations to optimize their procurement budgets while maintaining the exact performance criteria needed for high-volume solvent applications, polymer processing, and paint formulation. It offers a balanced compromise between cost efficiency and technical efficacy, providing a robust solution for demanding plant operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelecting the incorrect grade can lead to severe system failure modes during industrial runs. If a lower, unrefined grade containing excessive water or heavy metal impurities is introduced into polymer synthesis, it can prematurely terminate polymerization chains, leading to weak or brittle polymer matrices that fail quality control. Conversely, utilizing an expensive analytical grade where a technical grade suffices results in unnecessary capital expenditure without any measurable increase in yield or product quality. Maintaining the appropriate technical grade is crucial for preserving process control and avoiding downstream production bottlenecks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"chemical-profile\" data-source=\"canonical\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChemical Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCAS Number\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e108-94-1\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eChemical Formula\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eC6H10O\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMolecular Weight\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e98.14 g\/mol\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eBoiling Point\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e312.1 °F at 760 mmHg (NTP, 1992)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMelting Point\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e3 °F (NTP, 1992)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eFlash Point\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e111 °F (NTP, 1992)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eSpecific Gravity\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e0.945 at 68 °F (USCG, 1999) - Less dense than water; will float\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eAppearance\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eCyclohexanone appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor.
