Methylcyclohexane

Methylcyclohexane is a colorless, clear liquid with a mild odor. As a fast-evaporating, medium-boiling hydrocarbon solvent, it offers excellent solubility for oils, waxes, and rubber compounds. With its low viscosity and strong volatile nature, it is widely used in coatings, printing inks, adhesives, and industrial cleaning. It is also a key component in certain correction fluids and a valuable reagent in organic synthesis.

Applications

1. Coatings & Printing Inks: Used as a fast-evaporating solvent in lacquers, varnishes, and gravure/flexo inks to adjust drying speed and viscosity.
2. Adhesives & Rubber: Effective solvent for rubber and adhesive formulations.
3. Industrial Cleaning: Used in parts cleaning and degreasing, especially where fast drying is required.
4. Correction Fluids: Methylcyclohexane is a primary solvent component in many correction fluids and typewriter correction tapes.
5. Organic Synthesis: Acts as a solvent and reagent in polymer chemistry and as a starting material for toluene synthesis.

Safety & Handling

· Highly flammable liquid and vapor.

· May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways.

· Causes skin and eye irritation. May cause drowsiness or dizziness.

· Use explosion-proof equipment. Wear protective gloves and goggles. Refer to SDS for complete safety details.

FAQ

Q: Methylcyclohexane vs n-Heptane / n-Hexane?

A: Methylcyclohexane has similar fast evaporation and solvency for oils/rubbers but is non-neurotoxic (unlike n-Hexane, which causes nerve damage). Higher flash point (-4°C vs -22°C for n-Hexane) means safer handling. Preferred for rubber adhesives and correction fluids where worker safety is a concern.

Q: Shelf life & storage?

A: 24 months. Store in cool, ventilated area below 30°C, away from fire, sparks, and oxidizers. Keep sealed. Ground containers during transfer due to static electricity risk.

Q: Documents provided?

A: Yes. COA, and SDS per batch. Third-party inspection (SGS/BV) available at your cost.
