Low-Aromatic Solvent Alternative for Coatings and Cleaning

108-87-2

Methylcyclohexane

With purity up to 99.97%, this high-quality cycloalkane solvent provides balanced solvency and a moderate evaporation rate, leaving minimal residue after evaporation. Its low aromatic content makes it a practical alternative to conventional aromatic solvents in paints, inks, adhesives, rubber products, metal degreasing, and optical cleaning. It is also suitable for chemical synthesis, fuel blending, and laboratory analysis. Available in drums, IBCs, and ISO tanks for flexible bulk supply.

Appearance

Colorless, transparent, oily liquid with a slight petroleum odor.
Solubility

Almost insoluble in water, but completely miscible with ethanol, ether, acetone, esters, and aromatic hydrocarbons.
Safety features

Contains no benzene rings, low toxicity and low aromatic hydrocarbons, environmentally friendly solvent; flash point -4℃, highly flammable, vapors can easily form explosive mixtures.
Chemical stability

Saturated cycloalkanes are stable at room temperature and are not easily oxidized or polymerized; they must not be stored or used together with strong oxidizing agents (hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate, chlorate).
Volatility performance

moderate evaporation rate, balanced solubility, and no residual oil film after evaporation.
