Cyclohexanone application
Cyclohexanone is a colourless liquid used as a solvent for cellulose lacquers. It is the organic
compound with the formula (CH2)5CO. The molecule consists of six-carbon cyclic molecule with
a ketone functional group. This colorless oil has an odor reminiscent of peardrop sweets as well as
acetone. Over time, samples assume a yellow color due to oxidation. Cyclohexanone is slightly
soluble in water, but miscible with common organic solvents.
Cyclohexanone is a synthetic organic liquid used primarily as an intermediate in the production of
nylon. Other minor applications are as an intermediate, additive and solvent in a variety of
products.
Cyclohexanone is used in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of adipic acid and
caprolactam (ca. 95%), polyvinyl chloride and its copolymers, and methacrylate ester polymers.
Additional uses include wood stains, paint and varnish removers, spot rem
