Cyclohexanol, CAS 108-93-0, also known as hexahydrophenol, is a saturated alicyclic alcohol used as an intermediate for adipic acid and caprolactam, and as a solvent or feedstock for esters, plasticizers and coatings. This colorless, viscous liquid can solidify near ambient temperature, so confirm the offered form, assay and impurity limits, packaging and documentation before ordering; COA, TDS and SDS are available on request.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Is Cyclohexanol the same product as Cyclohexanone or KA Oil?
A: No. Cyclohexanol, CAS 108-93-0, is the alcohol. Cyclohexanone has a different CAS number, while KA Oil is a controlled cyclohexanone-cyclohexanol mixture. -
Q:
What is Cyclohexanol used for?
A: It is mainly used as an intermediate for adipic acid, caprolactam and nylon production, and as a solvent or feedstock for esters, plasticizers, coatings and specialty chemicals. -
Q:
What are the key specifications and physical properties of Cyclohexanol?
A: Industrial cyclohexanol is usually colourless with purity >=99%, melting point near 25.9 C, boiling point about 160.8 C and density about 0.9624. Agree GC assay, cyclohexanone and other impurities, water, colour, acidity and refractive index with the methods. -
Q:
What temperature controls are needed for Cyclohexanol delivery?
A: Cyclohexanol can solidify near normal ambient temperature, so confirm the offered form, loading temperature, insulated or heated drum, IBC or tank arrangement, net quantity and receiving temperature. Solidification alone does not mean the product is off-specification.
