Methylcyclohexane Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Methyl Cyclohexane
- MCH
- Cyclohexylmethane
- Hexahydrotoluene
Methylcyclohexane supplier for industrial solvent, correction-fluid, rubber and process buyers in Malaysia. Also searched as methyl cyclohexane, MCH, cyclohexylmethane and hexahydrotoluene, this clear C7 hydrocarbon liquid (CAS 108-87-2, formula C7H14) is specified where a volatile, water-insoluble solvent with a mild petrol-like odour is required.
Commercial offers usually cover technical or industrial solvent grades for general plant duty, plus higher-purity material for analytical, specialty synthesis and liquid organic hydrogen carrier work. Purity, toluene and other aromatic limits should be taken from the grade documentation rather than a generic catalogue figure.
Typical uses include dissolving rubber, resins, waxes, oils and tars; correction fluid and thinner formulation; pharmaceutical and specialty process solvent steps; laboratory reference work; and LOHC hydrogen-storage research. This page does not cover cyclohexane, toluene, hexane or methylcyclopentane.
Send the required grade, purity or aromatic limits, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Methylcyclohexane 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 methylcyclohexane | clear, colourless volatile liquid | — | General industrial solvent duty for rubber, resins, waxes, oils, tars and related process dissolving where a technical MCH cut is specified. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Industrial solvent grade methylcyclohexane | clear, colourless volatile liquid | — | Correction-fluid and thinner formulation, resin work and plant solvent use where industrial methylcyclohexane is named on the solvent balance. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity methylcyclohexane | clear, colourless volatile liquid | — | Analytical reference work, specialty synthesis and liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) duties that request a tighter aromatic and impurity profile. State the purity target with the enquiry. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Store sealed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Keep containers closed, control vapour during transfer and follow the safety data sheet for the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about methylcyclohexane
Is methylcyclohexane the same as cyclohexane or toluene?
No. Methylcyclohexane is a C7 cyclic hydrocarbon (CAS 108-87-2), while cyclohexane is C6 and toluene is the aromatic C7 solvent already covered on its own page. Request the identity named on your specification so the offer is not matched to the wrong solvent.
Which methylcyclohexane grade should I request?
Technical and industrial grades suit general solvent, rubber, resin and correction-fluid work. High-purity material is selected for analytical, specialty synthesis or hydrogen-carrier duties that set tighter impurity limits. Include the application and critical controls with the enquiry.
What is industrial methylcyclohexane used for?
Buyers use methylcyclohexane as a solvent for rubber, resins, waxes, oils and tars, in correction fluid and thinner formulation, as a process solvent in specialty synthesis, for laboratory reference work, and in emerging liquid organic hydrogen carrier systems. Describe the process so grade and purity can be aligned before quotation.
What specifications should a buyer provide for methylcyclohexane?
State the intended use and any required purity, toluene or aromatic limits, distillation range and residue controls. For an existing process, attach the current specification or a sample requirement so the grade can be checked against it. Do not rely on a generic assay alone.
Is methylcyclohexane the same as hexane or methylcyclopentane?
No. Hexane is a C6 aliphatic solvent family with its own page, and methylcyclopentane is a different cyclic isomer. This page covers methylcyclohexane only. Send the product named on your specification if you need a different hydrocarbon solvent.
What details are needed for a methylcyclohexane price enquiry?
Provide the grade, application, target purity or aromatic limits, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing, documentation needs and timing so the quotation can address the full requirement.
