  • Applications

    As a relatively high–molecular‑weight, fully saturated, highly hydrophobic hydrocarbon with very low polarity and a high boiling/flash point, Cyclohexane, 1,1'-(1,2-dimethyl-1,2-ethanediyl)bis- (CAS 97557-22-7) is considered for use as a nonpolar solvent or carrier in specialty coatings, inks, and sealants where slow evaporation and oxidative stability are desired; as a viscosity‑modifying component in lubricants and in non‑aromatic dielectric and heat‑transfer fluids requiring thermal stability and elastomer compatibility; as a diluent/solubilizer for polyolefins, hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins, and hydrophobic additives in performance testing; and as a heavy hydrocarbon reference for calibration and boiling‑range characterization in GC/GC×GC analysis of fuels and base oils. In research, its symmetric cyclohexyl architecture and bulky scaffold are used as a model for probing chair–boat conformational dynamics and steric interactions in saturated alkanes, as a low‑background matrix in optical/dielectric measurements, and as an inert carrier in stability studies of moisture‑ or oxygen‑sensitive materials; specific adoption depends on purity grade, regulatory requirements, and safety assessment by the end user.
