hexadecylcyclohexane - Introduction
1-Cyclohexylhexadecane is an organic compound with the chemical formula C16H34. It is a colorless liquid with typical properties of alkanes.
1-Cyclohexylhexadecane has good heat resistance and chemical resistance, and has low volatility. It is a solid at room temperature, but can be dissolved in some solvents, such as petroleum ether, benzene and alcohol. It is a non-polar substance and insoluble in water.
1-Cyclohexylhexadecane is very versatile. It is often used as an industrial solvent, especially in the preparation of pigments, resins and inks, as a diluent or an additive to adjust physical properties. In addition, it can also be used as a component of rust inhibitors for the protection of automobiles and metal surfaces.
1-Cyclohexylhexadecane is mainly prepared by alkylation reaction, that is, n-hexadecane is reacted with cyclohexane. This process requires high temperatures and the presence of a catalyst.
Safety issues need to be noted when using and storing 1-Cyclohexylhexadecane. It needs to be stored in a cool, ventilated place away from fire and avoid exposure to sunlight. Maintain good ventilation during use and avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. If splashing into the skin or eyes occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water and consult a doctor for further treatment.
