  • Applications

    Dihexyloxy cyclohexane (CAS 1000284-53-6) is commonly used as a non-polar solvent and processing aid in industrial coatings, inks, and adhesives; it can act as a plasticizer or processing additive to improve flexibility of polymers and coatings; it serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis for ether-containing compounds; it may be used in specialty cleaning formulations as a low-polarity solvent; and it is considered a component in certain lubricant and formulation blends where stable, non-polar solvents are desired.
