Cyclohexanone is an important chemical raw material and the main intermediate in the manufacture of nylon, caprolactam and adipic acid. It is also an important industrial solvent, such as for paints, especially those containing nitrocellulose, vinyl chloride polymers and their copolymers or methacrylate polymers. It is used as 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. Also used as a leveling agent for dyeing and matting silk, a degreaser for polishing metals, and wood coloring and varnishing. Used as a high boiling point solvent for cosmetics such as nail polish.
