Cyclohexanone is a colorless oily liquid. Molecular formula: C₆H₁₀O; Molecular weight: 98.15. It is soluble in water, alcohol, ether and general solvents, with clay aroma. Cyclohexanone is an important chemical raw material to produce caprolactam, hexane diacid and other nylon intermediates. Commodity cyclohexanone is an excellent medium-high- boiling-point organic solvent with excellent solubility and low volatility. It can dissolve polyvinyl acetate, polyurethane, polymethyl methyl acrylate and ABS resin, as well as polystyrene, alkyd, acrylic acid resin, natural resin, natural rubber, synthetic rubber, chlorinated rubber. When used as coating solvent, cyclohexanone has good spray coating and brush coating function, can perfect the lustre of coating layer. It can be also used as solvent in silk screen ink and photosensitive material coating, as polishing agent and leather degreasing agent in leather and shoes making industry, as diluent in overcoating, and used to prepare spraying insecticide in pesticide industry. With the rapid development of science and technology, the development and use of cyclohexanone moves towards the wider field.
Cyclohexanone is the main product of Juhua Group Corporation Polyamide Fiber Factory. its scale has expanded to 60kt/a in 2006 from originally 4500t/a in 1982. Newly-established equipment is set up based on the technical innovation by digesting, absorbing and adopting the most advanced technique from domestic and overseas similar equipment, and adopting several patent technologies. Three important technologies in production of cyclohexane have made great breakthrough, including oxygenolysis, quality upgrade and wastewater incineration. Especially, wastewater incineration technology enjoys 3 items of independence intellectual property, up to the internationally advanced level. Therefore, the quality of our cyclohexanone product has reached domestic leading level, absolutely can satisfy the clients' requirements in the quality aspect.
