Molecular formula:C₆H₁₂

Brief introduction to the manufacturing way:

We adopt the technique of addition of benzene liquid and hydrogen, which is developed by french research institute ( ifp ), using ni family homogeneous catalyst, to carry out the reaction of adding hydrogen. After cooling and evaporating of reactant, we can get the product-cyclohexane.

Properties:

It is a kind of transparent liquid without color, smells like gasoline; easy to volatilize and to burn; also has a function of an esthesia. Specific gravity is 0.779(20/4℃), Boiling point is 81℃, crystalizing point is 5.8℃, Flashing point is -16.7℃. It dissolves in organic solvent, such as alcohol, diethyl ether ,carbon tetrachloride except water .Its vapor can create explosive mixture with air whose explosion limit ranges from 1.3% To 8.3%(Volume)

Use:

It is mainly used to produce cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone, as solvent, it is widely used in coating industry, also good for resin, fat, paraffin, oil, plastic.

Storage and Transportation:

Packed in galvanized iron drum, net weight of each drum should be less than 160kg,the temperature of storehouse should be less than 28 ℃. Keeping away from heat source and tinder, avoiding sunshine, no rolling the drum, striking ,rubbing while loading and unloading. Period of reserving should be less than half a year.
