Cyclohexanone, an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H10O, is a saturated cyclic ketone whose carbonyl carbon atom is contained in a six membered ring. Colorless and transparent liquid with earthy smell. When it contains traces of phenol, it has Mint smell. The impure substance is light yellow, which will be colored by impurities generated during storage time. It is water white to grayish yellow and has a strong pungent odor. The explosive pole mixed with air is the same as the open chain saturated ketone.

Cyclohexanone is an important chemical raw material and the main intermediate for the manufacture of nylon, caprolactam and adipic acid. It is also an important industrial solvent, such as paint, especially those containing nitrocellulose, vinyl chloride polymer and its copolymer or methacrylate polymer paint. It is an excellent solvent for organophosphorus pesticides and many similar pesticides, as a solvent for dyes, as a viscous solvent for piston type aviation lubricants, and as a solvent for grease, wax and rubber. It is also used as homogenizing agent for dyeing and fading silk, degreasing agent for polishing metal, and coloring and painting of wood. Used as high boiling point solvent for cosmetics such as nail polish. It is usually mixed with low boiling point solvent and medium boiling point solvent to obtain appropriate volatilization rate and viscosity.
