Methylcyclohexane MCH CAS 108-87-2

BLIT Chemical is high-quality Methylcyclohexane MCH (CAS 108-87-2) supplier, a clear, colorless liquid with a faint petroleum-like odor. As a saturated cyclic hydrocarbon, it is widely used as a solvent, organic intermediate, and fuel additive. With high stability and excellent dissolving properties, Methylcyclohexane is suitable for coatings, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemical processing. BLIT Chemical ensures consistent quality and factory-direct competitive pricing for global customers.

Excellent solubility for resins (acrylic, alkyd), oils, and waxes; low volatility (boiling point 100.9℃) ensures longer working time in coatings/inks.

Multi-Industry Versatility: Acts as an extraction solvent in pharmaceuticals, a diluent in adhesives, and a calibration standard in gas chromatography (GC).

Stable Supply & Scalability: Annual production capacity of 8,000 MT, with flexible order sizes (1L lab samples to 100MT bulk) to support R&D and mass production.

Specification

Applications

Methylcyclohexane CAS 108-87-2 is applied across multiple industries:

1. Coatings & Inks

Low-VOC Formulations: Replaces toluene/xylene in industrial coatings (metal, wood) to meet EU VOC Directive (≤100g/L) and US EPA 40 CFR Part 63 standards.

Resin Dilution: Improves flow and leveling of acrylic, epoxy, and alkyd resins—ideal for automotive refinish paints and printing inks.

2. Pharmaceuticals & Fine Chemicals

API Extraction: Safely extracts fat-soluble drugs (e.g., steroids, vitamins) from plant materials, with no residual toxicity.

Intermediate Synthesis: Serves as a reaction medium for cycloalkane derivatives, supporting production of anti-inflammatory and anti-viral drugs.

3. Industrial Cleaning

Precision Cleaning: Removes oil, grease, and flux from electronic components (PCBs) and metal parts—non-corrosive to aluminum, copper, and stainless steel.

Degreaser: Used in metalworking as an alternative to petroleum ether, it dries faster and is less flammable.

Storage & Handling

Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, ventilated area.

Keep away from open flames, sparks, and heat sources.

Use explosion-proof equipment during handling.

Shelf life: 12 months under recommended conditions.

Usage Guidelines
