Methylcyclohexane

Methylcyclohexane (CAS No.: 108-87-2) is the fully hydrogenated product of toluene, a saturated cycloalkane. It is chemically stable and exhibits good solvency for many non-polar and weakly polar organic substances (such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, resins, oils, and waxes), leaving minimal residue after evaporation. As a solvent, it is primarily used in the rubber industry (e.g., as a processing solvent for adhesives and rubber products) and the coatings industry (as a thinner for nitrocellulose lacquers, effectively adjusting evaporation rate and viscosity). In the chemical sector, it serves as an intermediate for synthesizing other chemicals (e.g., cresols) and can be dehydrogenated to produce toluene. Due to its high purity and stable boiling point, methylcyclohexane is commonly used as a standard reagent and solvent in gas chromatography analysis. Additionally, it is studied as a solvent or reaction medium for certain organic reactions. Our product, manufactured in Shandong, China, is produced via processes such as catalytic hydrogenation of toluene. It achieves a purity of ≥99.0% with extremely low aromatic impurities (e.g., benzene), features a narrow boiling range, and offers stable quality to meet application needs in rubber processing, paint thinning, chemical synthesis, and analytical testing.
