Cyclohexanone Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Ketohexamethylene
- Oxocyclohexane
- Pimelic Ketone
- CYC
Cyclohexanone supplier in Malaysia for coating, ink, adhesive, resin and chemical intermediate buyers. Traded as ketohexamethylene, oxocyclohexane, pimelic ketone and the abbreviation CYC, it is a colourless to pale yellow liquid ketone (CAS 108-94-1, C6H10O) with a sharp, acetone-like odour. It is partially water soluble and mixes with most organic solvents.
Supply is a single liquid product separated by purity, water content and colour rather than by physical form. Technical grade handles plant solvent duty, tighter high-purity material is asked for in pharmaceutical, agrochemical and analytical work, and conversion volumes move in bulk. State the scale with the enquiry so the offer is built for packed or bulk movement.
Solvent demand runs through paints, industrial coatings, printing inks, adhesives, vinyl cements and equipment degreasing. Downstream, cyclohexanone is converted into adipic acid and caprolactam for the nylon chain, so enquiries come from formulators and from intermediate consumers alike. This is the ketone and not cyclohexane, the saturated hydrocarbon, nor cyclohexanol, and it is not a drop-in for methyl ethyl ketone or methyl isobutyl ketone.
Send the grade, purity or water limits, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and timing are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Cyclohexanone grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical grade cyclohexanone | colourless to pale yellow liquid | — | Solvent duty in paints, industrial coatings, printing inks, adhesives and resin thinning, where a strong ketone solvent is named on the formulation sheet. | Drum or IBC quantities. The pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| High-purity cyclohexanone | colourless liquid | — | Pharmaceutical, agrochemical and fine-chemical synthesis steps, plus analytical work, where water, colour and impurity limits are held tighter than a general solvent specification. | Drum quantities are usual for smaller volumes. Confirm the pack format with the quotation. |
| Intermediate grade cyclohexanone | colourless liquid | — | Feedstock volumes for adipic acid and caprolactam manufacture, and other downstream conversion where the buyer consumes the ketone rather than formulating with it. | Bulk tank or flexitank movement suits larger volumes and is confirmed with the quotation. |

Cyclohexanone applications
Safety and handling
Keep drums closed in a cool, well-ventilated store away from heat, ignition sources and strong oxidisers. Treat the liquid and its vapour as flammable, control vapour during transfer, and work to the safety data sheet issued for the grade quoted. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about cyclohexanone
Is cyclohexanone the same as cyclohexane?
No, they are two different products. Cyclohexanone is the ketone carrying a carbonyl group on the ring, while cyclohexane is the saturated hydrocarbon that sits upstream of it. Name the one your specification calls for, since they behave differently as solvents and are quoted separately.
Is cyclohexanone the same as cyclohexanol?
No. Cyclohexanol is the alcohol and cyclohexanone is the ketone, and the two are produced together in the same oxidation step before being separated. They are ordered as separate products, so state which one the process needs.
Are ketohexamethylene, pimelic ketone and CYC the same as cyclohexanone?
Yes, those are older or trade names for the same material, along with oxocyclohexane, and CYC is the abbreviation used in petrochemical trade reporting. A specification quoting any of them refers to CAS 108-94-1.
Can cyclohexanone replace methyl ethyl ketone or methyl isobutyl ketone?
Not directly. Those are lighter, faster-evaporating ketones with their own pages, and cyclohexanone boils far higher, so swapping it in changes drying, viscosity and solvent balance. Send the formulation requirement and the ketone will be quoted by name.
Which cyclohexanone grade should I request?
Technical grade covers coating, ink, adhesive and general solvent work. High-purity material suits pharmaceutical, agrochemical and analytical use where water and colour limits are tight. Intermediate volumes are for adipic acid or caprolactam conversion. Give the application and any critical limits.
What details are needed for a cyclohexanone price enquiry?
Provide the grade, the application or downstream process, any purity and water limits, the volume per shipment and the delivery location. Mention documentation you need and whether drums, IBCs or bulk movement is intended.
