Chemical Cyclohexane (CAS 110-82-7) is a non-polar organic solvent widely utilized in both industrial and laboratory settings. It is a colorless, volatile liquid characterized by a petroleum-like odor. It is renowned for its exceptional solvency. Cyclohexane Chemical is insoluble in water and is volatile.
What Is Cyclohexane Chemical (CAS 110-82-7)?
Cyclohexane (C₆H₁₂) belongs to the class of cycloalkanes. It is a colorless, flammable liquid that is nearly insoluble in water but readily miscible with non-polar solvents. It has a boiling point of approximately 81 °C and evaporates relatively quickly. In chemical laboratories, cyclohexane is frequently used to demonstrate molecular conformations, particularly its stable "chair" conformation.
Cyclohexane is less chemically reactive than cyclohexene. It does not undergo addition reactions; however, it reacts slowly with halogens under ultraviolet irradiation and is combustible in air. Due to its low chemical reactivity, it is particularly well-suited for applications requiring a high degree of chemical stability.

Why Is Cyclohexane Chemical (CAS 110-82-7) Used as a Solvent?
Cyclohexane (cas no 110 82 7) is widely utilized as a solvent due to its significant physical and chemical properties.
1. As a non-polar solvent, it effectively dissolves non-polar substances-including various oils, fats, waxes, resins, and hydrocarbons-making it particularly suitable for use across a wide range of industrial sectors.
2. Furthermore, it exhibits excellent solubility for a diverse array of organic compounds; compared to polar solvents, it demonstrates superior compatibility with hydrophobic materials, thereby helping to enhance efficiency in the production and processing of coatings, paints, adhesives, and polymers.
3. With a boiling point of approximately 80.7°C, cyclohexane liquid possesses moderate volatility; it evaporates rapidly after use, leaving behind minimal residue. This characteristic shortens drying times in coating and cleaning applications-a feature of particular value in the fields of industrial cleaning and surface treatment.
4. Under standard temperature and pressure conditions, cyclohexane chemical demonstrates excellent chemical stability; it does not readily react with most substances, allowing for its safe storage under appropriate conditions.
5. Finally, given that cyclohexane liquid is virtually insoluble in water, it is widely employed in processes such as liquid-liquid extraction, separation techniques, and organic-phase reactions-both in laboratory research settings and within chemical industrial production.
Main Applications of Cyclohexane as a Solvent
- Industrial Cleaning & Degreasing: Removes oil, grease and dirt from metal surfaces and machinery.
