Description: Cyclohexanone is a cyclic ketone, mainly produced by catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane or hydrogenation of phenol. It is a medium-boiling, polar industrial solvent with good solvency for resins, oils, rubber, and polymers. It is widely used as a key intermediate for nylon 6 and nylon 66 manufacturing, and in coatings, inks, adhesives, degreasing agents, and paint removers. It is flammable, irritating to eyes, skin and respiratory tract; vapor may form explosive mixtures with air when exposed to heat or ignition sources.
