Cyclohexane (C6H12), CAS number 110-82-7, is an important industrial chemical widely used as a solvent and as a key intermediate in nylon production. Cyclohexane is mainly manufactured through hydrogenation of benzene and is also obtained as a component in petroleum refining processes.
What Is Cyclohexane Solvent (CAS No 110 82 7)
Cyclohexane (CAS No. 110-82-7) is a colorless, non-polar and highly flammable liquid with a characteristic sweet smell. It is a cyclic alkane mainly produced by hydrogenating benzene or directly from petroleum fractions. Its stable ring structure makes it a valuable solvent and intermediate for many chemical synthesis processes.

How can cyclohexane chemical (CAS 110-82-7) be made?
The most common and efficient way to produce cyclohexane is through the catalytic hydrogenation of benzene.
- Chemical Reaction: C₆H₆ (benzene) + 3H₂ → C₆H₁₂ (cyclohexane)
- Raw materials: benzene and hydrogen gas
- Catalysts: nickel, platinum or palladium
- Reaction conditions:
- Temperature: around 150–250 °C
- High pressure: usually 10–30 atm
In this reaction, hydrogen atoms are added across the benzene ring, converting the aromatic compound into the saturated cycloalkane - cyclohexane.
Secondary Method: Petroleum Refining
Cyclohexane Chemical can also be produced from crude oil refining. It exists in small quantities in naphtha fractions, and can be separated by distillation and extraction.
Laboratory Preparation
In laboratories, cyclohexane is seldom prepared directly on a large scale. It is usually obtained by:
- Benzene hydrogenation under controlled conditions
- Purification from commercial cyclohexane products
Main Industrial Uses of Cyclohexane
The overwhelming share of cyclohexane production goes into nylon manufacture.
Besides nylon, cyclohexane is used as:
- A calibration solvent in laboratory experiments.
- A reference material for determining octane ratings in fuels.
- A volatile solvent in adhesives and coatings.
