Cyclohexanol (cyclohexyl alcohol, CAS 108-93-0) is a saturated cyclic C₆ alcohol and one of the highest-volume organic intermediates in the chemical industry. Its principal destiny is the nylon chain — oxidation to adipic acid (nylon 6,6) and conversion via cyclohexanone to caprolactam (nylon 6) — while its high boiling point and strong solvency also make it a valuable solvent for coatings, lacquers, and degreasing, and a building block for plasticisers, rubber chemicals, and pharmaceutical synthesis. Royalchem supplies it at ≥ 99.5% purity as a colourless transparent liquid (m.p. ≈ 25 °C — may partially solidify in cool conditions), delivered by drum, IBC, or bulk.

The key intermediate for adipic acid (nylon 6,6) and, via cyclohexanone, caprolactam (nylon 6) — feeding textile fibres, engineering plastics, automotive components, carpets, and industrial yarns.
A slow-evaporating, high-boiling solvent that improves flow and levelling in industrial paints, varnishes, lacquers, and wood finishes, and serves in metal degreasing and specialty cleaning formulations.
A building block for pharmaceutical intermediates and APIs, cyclohexyl esters for plasticisers, rubber-processing chemicals, agrochemical intermediates, and custom specialty synthesis.
Standard Packaging:
190 kg steel or HDPE drums, IBC totes, or ISO tank for bulk — or to customer requirement. Distributed by Royalchem Spain from our Valladolid hub. Shelf life 24 months in original sealed packaging.
Storage Conditions:
Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, ignition sources, and strong oxidising agents. Note the melting point (≈ 25 °C): the product may partially crystallise below room temperature — gentle warming (≤ 40 °C water bath) fully restores it with no loss of quality.
