High-purity and industrial grades of BASF Cyclohexanone (CAS 108-94-1), for coatings, resins and nylon intermediates.
A high-boiling cyclic ketone solvent with consistent assay, documented specifications and flexible packing, backed by responsive technical and commercial support.
Focused supply of BASF Cyclohexanone to industrial buyers with clear documentation and dependable handling.
Our work centres on this product: grade selection between high-purity 99.9% and industrial grade, batch documentation, packaging integrity and storage guidance. Every inquiry is handled by a named contact who can clarify specifications, Safety Data Sheet revisions and packing options before an order is placed.
We keep the process straightforward: confirm the grade, agree the packing and delivery terms, and supply the documentation your quality and EHS teams need. Technical questions on assay, water content or compatibility are answered against published data for CAS 108-94-1.
One chemistry, graded for different process needs.
Cyclohexanone (CAS 108-94-1, C6H10O) is a high-boiling cyclic ketone used both as a solvent and as a nylon intermediate. We offer the high-purity 99.9% grade for applications needing tight control of assay, colour and water content, and the industrial grade for general solvent and intermediate use.
Low colour, controlled moisture and tight assay for coatings, resins and fine synthesis.
Documented grade for processes needing consistent impurity limits and traceability.
General solvent use and caprolactam / adipic acid routes at a practical cost profile.

Ask a QuestionThe majority of global output becomes caprolactam for nylon 6; a smaller share becomes adipic acid for nylon 6,6.
Cyclohexanone oxime route to caprolactam for fibres, engineering plastics and film.
Co-oxidation with cyclohexanol (KA oil) to adipic acid for nylon 6,6.
High-boiling solvent with good flow-out for PVC, PVDC, vinyl and epoxy systems.
Cyclohexanone-formaldehyde resins and agrochemical, pharmaceutical intermediates.
Practical support around one product, order after order.
Cyclohexanone is classified as a flammable liquid, UN 1915, Class 3, Packing Group III, and is handled accordingly: tightly sealed containers, cool and well-ventilated storage, protection from heat and ignition sources, and separation from strong oxidising agents, strong acids and strong bases.
Packing, labelling and shipping documents are prepared per order; delivery schedule and terms are confirmed with your quotation.
Ask About PackingTechnical, knowledge and commercial notes on cyclohexanone.
Assay, water content, colour and residual cyclohexanol separate a high-purity grade from an industrial grade. In caprolactam and resin routes, tighter impurity limits keep downstream reactions predictable.
Cyclohexanone (CAS 108-94-1, C6H10O) is a six-carbon cyclic ketone and the main feedstock for caprolactam and nylon 6.
Buyers usually pin down the grade, packing format, SDS revision and delivery terms before comparing offers. Aligning early keeps quotations comparable.
