Methyl cyclohexane

Methyl Cyclohexane – High Purity Aliphatic Hydrocarbon Solvent

Methyl Cyclohexane is a colorless, flammable liquid hydrocarbon derived from petroleum. Known for its low odor and excellent solvency, it is primarily used as a non-polar solvent in chemical synthesis, adhesives, paints, varnishes, and laboratory applications. Its structure consists of a methyl-substituted cyclohexane ring, making it a preferred alternative to aromatic solvents like toluene.
