About Methyl cyclohexane, 98%

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Methyl cyclohexane in Synthesis grade, a laboratory solvent registered under CAS number 108-87-2 at a purity of 98%. Formula C7H14, molecular weight 98.19 g/mol. Alternative names: Hexahydrotoluene and Cyclohexylmethane.

In its supplied form it is a colourless liquid. Reported physical data include a melting point of -126 °C and a density of 0.77 g/mL at 25 °C. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

It is commonly used for reaction medium, extraction and work-up, cleaning and rinsing and solvent and extraction work. It is used across academic and industrial research and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Standard pack sizes are 500 mL, 5 L and 155 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
