Product Overview

BASF Cyclohexane product

BASF Cyclohexane is the cyclohexane produced under the BASF brand and supplied by Ascent Group as BASF Cyclohexane grade material. Chemically it is a saturated alicyclic hydrocarbon (CAS 110-82-7) with the formula C₆H₁₂, a clear, colourless, non-polar liquid with a mild characteristic odour.

Its six-membered ring gives a defined boiling point of 80.7 °C and predictable evaporation behaviour. Low reactivity and strong solvency for non-polar substances make it a feedstock for nylon intermediates and a process solvent in coatings, adhesives and extraction.

03 / USES

Applications

From nylon feedstocks to formulated solvents, BASF Cyclohexane serves six core industrial uses.

Laboratory glassware and molecular structure

Nylon Intermediates

BASF Cyclohexane is oxidised to cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol, the ketone-alcohol oil used to make caprolactam and adipic acid for nylon 6 and nylon 66 production.

Laboratory glassware and molecular structure

Industrial Solvents

Its non-polar character dissolves resins, waxes, oils and rubber in coating, adhesive and cleaning formulations that need a fast-evaporating hydrocarbon solvent.

Laboratory glassware and molecular structure

Extraction Processes

Cyclohexane serves as an extraction and crystallisation medium in fine chemical and polymer processing, where a narrow boiling range simplifies solvent recovery.

Laboratory glassware and molecular structure

Coatings & Inks

Formulators use cyclohexane to control viscosity and drying in solvent-borne coatings and printing inks based on non-polar binders.

Laboratory glassware and molecular structure

Chemical Synthesis

The six-membered ring makes cyclohexane a starting material for chlorinated, nitrated and oxidised derivatives used in further chemical synthesis.

Laboratory glassware and molecular structure

Adhesives & Sealants

In contact adhesives and sealant formulations, cyclohexane provides solvency for elastomers and supports rapid initial bond development.

05 / COMPANY

About Ascent Group

01

Product Focus

Ascent Group Co., Ltd works with BASF Cyclohexane as a dedicated product line, supporting buyers in nylon intermediates, solvent formulation and extraction.

02

Order Control

Lot identity, container integrity and accompanying documentation are checked against the order before dispatch, so the grade specified is the grade received.

03

Single Point of Contact

Grade availability, shipment coordination and technical questions are handled by one sales contact, keeping the inquiry chain short for industrial buyers.

06 / HANDLING

Packaging & Storage

BASF Cyclohexane is a volatile, flammable liquid handled in sealed steel drums and bulk tank containers. Keep containers closed and store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks and direct sunlight.

Ground transfer equipment during decanting, avoid open flames and provide ventilation to control vapour. Handle with standard industrial hygiene measures and consult the safety data sheet for the grade supplied.

07 / QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked

What is the CAS number of cyclohexane?

The CAS registry number is 110-82-7. Cyclohexane is a saturated alicyclic hydrocarbon with the formula C₆H₁₂.

What is BASF Cyclohexane used for?

It is a feedstock for cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol in nylon 6 and nylon 66 chains, and a non-polar process solvent in coatings, adhesives and extraction.

Is cyclohexane flammable?

Yes. Cyclohexane has a flash point of −18 °C and forms flammable vapour mixtures with air, so it must be handled away from ignition sources.

What is the HS code for cyclohexane?

Cyclohexane is classified under HS code 2902.11, the customs heading for cyclohexane and related cyclanes.

How does cyclohexane differ from hexane?

Cyclohexane is a six-membered ring (C₆H₁₂) boiling at 80.7 °C, while n-hexane is a straight-chain C₆H₁₄ isomer boiling at 69 °C. The ring gives cyclohexane a higher density and different solvency.
