Methylcyclohexane, also known as hexahydrotoluene, cyclohexylmethane, etc., CAS number 108-87-2, is a colorless and transparent liquid mainly used as a solvent, chromatographic analysis standard substance, and as a calibration thermometer standard. It is also used in organic synthesis. for example
1. Used as a solvent or analytical reagent;
2. It is an important organic solvent and extractant widely used in industries such as rubber, coatings, and oils;
3. Used as a standard substance for chromatographic analysis and as a standard for calibrating thermometers;
4. Also used in organic synthesis;
Methylcyclohexane, its vapor can form explosive mixtures with air, posing a risk of combustion and explosion when exposed to heat sources and open flames. Therefore, it is recommended to store it in a cool and ventilated warehouse, away from fire and heat sources, and the temperature should not exceed 37 ℃. Keep the container sealed. It should be stored separately from oxidants and avoid mixing storage. Adopt explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. Prohibit the use of mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to generating sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency response equipment for leaks and suitable containment materials.
Additionally, it should be noted that this substance is harmful to the environment, and special attention should be paid to the pollution of surface water, soil, atmosphere, and drinking water.
