  • Applications

    Butylcyclohexane (CAS 1678-93-9) is typically used as a non-polar solvent in industry. It serves as a solvent for coatings, inks, and adhesives formulations, and can function as a processing or reaction medium in polymer and plastics manufacturing. It is also employed as an intermediate in organic synthesis, enabling certain transformations in specialty chemicals. In cleaning and degreasing formulations, it helps dissolve hydrocarbons and oily residues. Additionally, it may appear as a component in formulation blends for industrial cleaners or coatings, depending on regulatory limits.
