Product Overview

Cyclohexanone Technical Grade (CAS 108-94-1) is a colorless, organic ketone solvent widely utilized in industrial manufacturing and chemical synthesis. With the chemical formula C6H10O, this high-purity solvent is a primary precursor in the production of Nylon 6 and Nylon 66 polymers. It exhibits excellent solvency for a wide range of organic materials, including resins, cellulose acetate, and PVC.

This Technical Grade product is formulated for industrial applications requiring consistent volatility and reaction stability. It serves as a critical component in the formulation of lacquers, PVC cements, and protective coatings. Alliance Chemical supplies Cyclohexanone in sizes ranging from 1 Liter bottles to bulk 55-gallon drums to support both laboratory research and large-scale plant operations.
