Product Overview
Cyclohexanone ACS Grade (CAS 108-94-1) is a high-purity, colorless ketone solvent (C6H10O) used extensively in industrial synthesis and analytical chemistry. With a purity of ≥99.5%, this ACS Reagent Grade material meets strict American Chemical Society specifications, ensuring low impurity levels required for sensitive applications such as HPLC mobile phases and pharmaceutical synthesis intermediates.
As a powerful organic solvent, Cyclohexanone demonstrates excellent miscibility with standard organic solvents and moderate solubility in water. It is a critical precursor in the production of nylon (caprolactam synthesis) and serves as a highly effective solvent for resins, lacquers, and polymers. Alliance Chemical supplies this product in pack sizes ranging from 1 Liter for laboratory use to 55 Gallon drums for manufacturing scale, complete with Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for compliance.
