Methylcyclohexane
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Methylcyclohexane is a high-performance solvent widely utilized for its low toxicity and excellent solvency power. It serves as a Technical Grade intermediate in the synthesis of organic chemicals and as a cleaner for industrial equipment.
This hydrocarbon is preferred for its fast evaporation rate and stability under varied temperature conditions. It is a critical component in the production of high-solids coatings and specialized adhesive formulations.
In the petrochemical sector, it acts as a vital extraction solvent and a precursor in benzene manufacturing. It offers a safer alternative to toluene in many chemical processes without sacrificing solvent efficiency
APPLICATIONS
- Coating Formulations: Used as a solvent in paints and lacquers to control drying times and viscosity.
- Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a reactant and process aid in the manufacture of complex organic molecules.
- Printing Inks: Integrated into ink systems to ensure smooth application and rapid drying on various substrates.
SAFETY & RISKS
Classified as a Highly Flammable Liquid and Aspiration Hazard. Use Static-Discharge Protection and Respirators when handling. Toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects.
PACKAGING
170 kg Steel Drums, IBC Tanks, or Bulk Tankers.
