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.
