About this product
Cyclo Hexanone — written Cyclohexanone in most trade and technical documents, and also traded as ketohexamethylene, pimelic ketone or oxocyclohexane — is a cyclic ketone solvent (C6H10O, CAS 108-94-1, HSN 29142200). Buyers use it as a solvent for resins, PVC, cellulosics, paints, printing inks and adhesives, and as the industrial precursor to caprolactam and adipic acid for nylon-6 and nylon-6,6 production. We stock Industrial Grade, Min 99.5% material manufactured by Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited (GSFC), and supply it in 180 kg MS drums or bulk tankers from our Redhills, Chennai warehouse with dispatch across South India.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is cyclohexanone used for?
Cyclohexanone's principal industrial use is as a precursor to caprolactam and adipic acid for nylon-6 and nylon-6,6 production. Its secondary use is as a solvent for resins, PVC, cellulosics, paints, printing inks and adhesives.
What is the CAS number of cyclohexanone, and what else is it called?
Cyclohexanone carries CAS number 108-94-1, molecular formula C6H10O, and HSN code 29142200. It is also written Cyclo Hexanone as two words, and traded as ketohexamethylene, pimelic ketone or oxocyclohexane.
What grade and purity of cyclohexanone do you supply?
We supply Industrial Grade, Min 99.5% cyclohexanone. The spec controls cyclohexanol at Max 500 ppm, water (moisture) at Max 0.1%, colour at Max 15 APHA (Pt-Co), acidity as acetic acid at Max 0.01%, density at 0.946 - 0.948 g/cm³ at 20°C and initial boiling point at Min 153°C, against the GSFC manufacturer spec cross-checked with batch COA. The full sheet is on our TDS (SPC-TDS-KET-004) and MSDS downloads.
Is cyclohexanone flammable, and how should it be stored?
Yes — cyclohexanone is a flammable liquid and vapour. Store it away from heat, sparks and oxidisers in a cool, well-ventilated area, avoid breathing vapour, and use appropriate skin and eye protection. Full handling detail is in the MSDS on this page.
What packaging is cyclohexanone available in, and can you supply in Chennai?
We stock cyclohexanone in 180 kg MS drums and bulk tankers at our Redhills, Chennai warehouse, with dispatch across South India from our Periyamet, Chennai office. Order sizes depend on packaging and current stock — call or WhatsApp +91 86087 80096 for a quote.
What is the difference between cyclohexanone and cyclohexane?
They are different products. Cyclohexanone is a cyclic ketone, C6H10O, CAS 108-94-1; cyclohexane is a saturated cycloalkane, CAS 110-82-7, listed separately in our Aromatic Solvents range. A third name, cyclohexanol, appears here only as a controlled trace impurity at Max 500 ppm.
