Cyclohexane is an alicyclic alkane that contains six carbon atoms in its structure. It is a volatile, colorless liquid with a petroleum-like odor at room temperature. It is among the key raw materials used for the production of nylon, a useful thermoplastic polymer. It is extensively utilized in many process industries as an intermediate chemical for the production of other organic compounds.
Lab Alley’s premium quality Cyclohexane is certified as an ACS (American Chemical Society) reagent due to its high purity. It is highly recommended to use in research labs for getting consistent and repetitive results.
