Purpose:
Cyclohexanone is an important chemical raw material and a major intermediate for the manufacture of nylon, caprolactam and adipic acid. It is also an important industrial solvent, for example, used in paints, especially those containing nitrocellulose, vinyl chloride polymers and their copolymers or methacrylate polymer paints. It is used as an excellent solvent for organophosphorus pesticides and many analogues, as a solvent for dyes, as a viscous solvent for piston type aviation lubricating oil, and as a solvent for grease, wax and rubber. It is also used as a homogenizing agent for dyeing and fading silk, a degreasing agent for polishing metal, and a coloring paint for wood. Used as a high boiling solvent for nail polish and other cosmetics. Generally, mixed solvent is prepared with low boiling point solvent and medium boiling point solvent to obtain appropriate volatilization speed and viscosity.
