Packaging and shipping
erformance solvent, provides support for applications such as nylon raw materials and coating solvents. Cyclohexanone (abbreviated as CYC), with the chemical formula C₆H₁₀O, is a colorless or pale yellow transparent oily liquid that has a stimulating odor similar to mint or acetone, belonging to a class of cyclic ketone compounds. The cyclohexanone product provided by Anhui Yipu Chemical Co., Ltd. has strict purity control. Its core value lies in being a key raw material for the production of caprolactam (nylon 6) and adipic acid (nylon 66), which supports the industries such as chemical fibers and engineering plastics. It is also a high-boiling-point solvent with excellent performance.
Product Description
Anhui Eapearl Chemical Co., Ltd., as a professional chemical supplier in China, deeply understands the fundamental role of cyclohexanone (CYC) as a core intermediate in the nylon production chain and a high-performance solvent in modern industry. At the same time, we are fully aware that cyclohexanone is a flammable and irritating hazardous chemical, and its production, storage, transportation, and use must strictly comply with safety and environmental protection regulations. We solemnly promise to strictly abide by all relevant laws and regulations, provide high-quality products, and prioritize safety, health, environmental protection, and compliance management.
Cyclohexanone (Cyclohexanone, abbreviated as CYC), with the chemical formula C₆H₁₀O, is a colorless or pale yellow transparent oily liquid with a stimulating odor similar to menthol or acetone. It is a cyclic ketone compound. The cyclohexanone products provided by Anhui Yipu Chemical are strictly controlled in purity. Its core value lies in being a key raw material for the production of caprolactam (nylon 6) and adipic acid (nylon 66), which supports the chemical fiber and engineering plastic industries as “industrial food”, and is also a high-boiling-point solvent with excellent performance.
The core value of cyclohexanone lies in its irreplaceable role as a core intermediate in the nylon production chain, as well as its wide application as a high-boiling-point and highly soluble solvent.
Core raw materials (dominant applications) of the nylon production chain: Over 90% of cyclohexanone is used to produce caprolactam and adipic acid. Among them, caprolactam is the largest downstream product, accounting for more than 60%, and is used to manufacture nylon 6 fibers and engineering plastics; adipic acid accounts for approximately 25%, and is used to manufacture nylon 66. This is the most core and largest application of cyclohexanone.
High-performance coatings, inks and resin solvents: As an excellent high-boiling-point solvent, it is widely used in nitrocellulose paints, vinyl resins, polyurethane coatings, inks and adhesives, effectively improving leveling and gloss.
Medicinal and pesticide intermediates and solvents: It is used for the synthesis of various medicinal intermediates (such as gabapentin intermediates), and is also an excellent solvent for pesticide production. Other fine chemical applications: Used for the production of cyclohexanone-formaldehyde resins (ketone-aldol resins), o-phthalic acid (a flame retardant and intermediate for preservatives), polybutylene sebacate (a biodegradable material), etc.
