Cyclohexanone ACS Grade

Why Cyclohexanone ACS Grade

Cyclohexanone ACS Grade (CAS: 108-94-1) provides the exacting purity and minimal trace impurities demanded by the American Chemical Society, making it the definitive choice for sensitive analytical testing and precision manufacturing. Represented by the chemical formula C6H10O, this efficient cyclic ketone solvent appears as a clear, colorless liquid that delivers aggressive solvency power capable of breaking down complex resins, polymers, and elastomers. Featuring a flash point of 44 and broad solubility across water, alcohols, ethers, and most organic solvents, it integrates cleanly into complex multi-component formulations. Buyers select this specific grade to guarantee zero-residue performance and absolute chemical consistency, eliminating the risk of interference in critical research, instrumental analysis, or highly sensitive industrial production processes.

Best Applications for This Grade

• Commonly applied in advanced analytical and research laboratories as a reliable solvent base, where even microscopic levels of heavy metals or moisture contamination would skew baseline readings in gas chromatography or mass spectrometry.
• Commonly applied in exacting chemical synthesis pathways, acting as a highly controlled intermediate precursor in the production of caprolactam and adipic acid for specialized synthetic fiber and nylon manufacturing.
• Commonly applied in the formulation of demanding industrial coatings, inks, and specialized adhesives, leveraging its strong solvency power to completely dissolve heavy nitrocellulose and synthetic resins while dictating a precise, predictable evaporation rate.
• Commonly applied in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing environments that require rigorous zero-residue cleaning, effectively removing tough polymeric residues and masking compounds without leaving particulate matter that could cause electrical shorts or component defects.

When to Choose a Different Grade

• If your operation involves large-scale industrial degreasing, machinery maintenance, or general solvent wipe-downs where strict analytical purity certifications are completely unnecessary, choose Cyclohexanone Technical Grade.
• If you are formulating bulk PVC pipe cements, standard commercial adhesives, or agricultural solvent blends where exact trace-level compositional limits will not alter the structural integrity of the final mixture, select Cyclohexanone Technical Grade.
• If your manufacturing process requires a strong cyclic ketone solvent to adjust the viscosity of bulk industrial paints, lacquers, or heavy-duty sealants without the strict regulatory overhead of laboratory-certified chemicals, Cyclohexanone Technical Grade will meet your operational requirements efficiently.
