Cyclohexane is a highly purified, non-polar solvent primarily used as a solvent for fats, waxes, and resins, as well as a precursor in nylon production and as a laboratory reagent. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild odor, known for its excellent solvency properties and low toxicity compared to many other solvents. This product meets a purity specification of ≥99.8%, with a CAS number of 110-82-7, molecular formula C6H12, and molecular weight of 84.16 g/mol. It is stored at ambient conditions and carries a **Danger** signal word due to its flammability and potential health hazards. Molekula supplies Cyclohexane from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
