Methyl cyclohexane with the CAS number 108 - 87 - 2 is a high - quality chemical compound. Its molecular formula is C₇H₁₄, and its molecular weight is approximately 98.19 g/mol. It is a colorless liquid with a faint, hydrocarbon - like odor. The boiling point of methyl cyclohexane is around 100.9 °C, and its melting point is - 126.3 °C. It has a density of about 0.769 g/cm³ at 20 °C. This product is insoluble in water but is miscible with many organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and benzene.
1. **Solvent in Chemical Industry**: Methyl cyclohexane is widely used as a solvent in various chemical processes. It can dissolve a variety of substances, making it suitable for applications in paint, varnish, and adhesive industries. In the paint industry, it helps to disperse pigments and resins evenly, ensuring the quality and stability of the paint.
2. **Extraction Agent**: It is also an effective extraction agent. In the pharmaceutical and food industries, it can be used to extract certain components from raw materials. For example, it can be used to extract natural products from plants, taking advantage of its solubility properties.
3. **Fuel Additive**: In the field of fuels, methyl cyclohexane can be used as an additive. It can improve the performance of fuels by enhancing their octane number and combustion efficiency, which is beneficial for reducing emissions and improving engine performance.
1. **Storage**: Store methyl cyclohexane in a cool, well - ventilated area away from sources of ignition and heat. Keep the container tightly closed to prevent evaporation and contamination.
2. **Handling**: When handling this product, wear appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, immediately rinse with plenty of water and seek medical attention if necessary.
3. **Dilution and Mixing**: If using it as a solvent, carefully measure the required amount of methyl cyclohexane and mix it with the substances to be dissolved or dispersed. Stir gently to ensure thorough mixing. Make sure to follow the recommended ratios provided in relevant technical documents.
1. **Paint Manufacturing Case**: A paint manufacturer was facing issues with pigment dispersion in their formulations. They decided to use methyl cyclohexane as a solvent. After adding an appropriate amount of methyl cyclohexane to their paint mixture, they observed a significant improvement in pigment dispersion. The paint had a more uniform color and better coverage. The drying time of the paint also became more consistent, which increased the overall production efficiency.
2. **Plant Extract Extraction Case**: A research institute was trying to extract a bioactive compound from a particular plant. They used methyl cyclohexane as an extraction agent. By carefully controlling the extraction conditions such as temperature and extraction time, they were able to successfully extract the target compound with high purity. This extraction method not only improved the yield but also reduced the extraction time compared to traditional methods.
