Cyclohexane is mainly used to make cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone (accounting for about 90%), and further to produce adipic acid and caprolactam. They are monomers for the production of polyamide. A small amount is used as industrial and coating solvents, and is an excellent solvent for resins, fats, paraffin oils, butyl rubber, etc. In addition, cyclohexane is also used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates. Cyclohexane is particularly suitable as a solvent for styrene-butadiene rubber, and its consumption is generally more than 4 times the amount of feed. 90% of cyclohexane is used for the production of cyclohexanone, which is an intermediate product for the production of caprolactam and adipic acid. It is also used as a general solvent, a standard substance for chromatographic analysis, a photoresist solvent, and organic synthesis.
