About this product
Cyclo Hexane — written Cyclohexane in most trade documents, and also known as hexahydrobenzene or hexamethylene — is a saturated six-carbon cycloalkane solvent (C6H12, CAS 110-82-7). Buyers use it as a solvent for resins, oils, waxes and rubber, in paint and coating formulations, and as feedstock for caprolactam and nylon-6 intermediates. We stock Solvent Grade material manufactured by Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited (GSFC), Vadodara, and supply it in 200 L / 160 kg mild steel drums or bulk road tankers from our Redhills, Chennai warehouse, with dispatch across South India.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CAS number of cyclohexane?
Cyclohexane is CAS 110-82-7. Its HSN code for Indian customs and GST invoicing is 2902 11 00, and its molecular formula is C6H12.
What is cyclohexane used for?
Cyclohexane is used as a solvent for resins, fats, oils and waxes, in paint and coating formulations, in rubber compounding and adhesives, and as an extraction and recrystallisation solvent in laboratories. It is also a feedstock for caprolactam and nylon-6 intermediates. On this site the product is listed as "Cyclo Hexane" — the same material buyers search for as "Cyclohexane", "hexahydrobenzene" or "hexamethylene".
What grade and specification of cyclohexane do you supply?
We supply Solvent Grade (caprolactam-route) cyclohexane manufactured by GSFC, Fertilizernagar, Vadodara. Typical specification is 98.0 min cyclohexane purity, 0.05 max moisture, 0.2 max methyl cyclopentane, 0.2 max methyl cyclohexane, 0.8 max low boiling products and 0.02 max benzene content, all on a % mass basis, per the manufacturer's Certificate of Analysis from GSFC's Central Laboratory. Our TDS (SPC-TDS-ARO-002) and MSDS are downloadable from this page.
What is the difference between cyclohexane, hexane and cyclohexanone?
Cyclohexane (CAS 110-82-7) is a saturated six-carbon ring, C6H12; hexane is the straight-chain six-carbon alkane, a different solvent with different evaporation and solvency behaviour. Cyclohexanone is the ketone derivative and a separate product we list as Cyclo Hexanone. Despite sitting under our Aromatic Solvents category, cyclohexane is not an aromatic compound — its own specification caps benzene at 0.02 max, % mass.
Is cyclohexane flammable, and how should it be stored and handled?
Yes. Cyclohexane is a highly flammable liquid and vapour, shipped under UN 1145, Class 3. Keep it away from heat, sparks and open flames, use it in well-ventilated areas, and ground and bond containers during transfer.
Can I buy cyclohexane in Chennai, and what packaging is available?
Yes. We supply cyclohexane in 200 L / 160 kg mild steel drums and in bulk road tankers, dispatched from our Redhills, Chennai warehouse across South India. Order sizes depend on packaging and current stock — call or WhatsApp +91 86087 80096 for a quote.
