China, the United States, and Germany are the leading exporters of Methylcyclohexane (CAS 108-87-2), collectively accounting for over 55% of global exports in 2023–2024; major importers include South Korea, India, and Mexico, reflecting strong demand from solvent and chemical synthesis applications. Trade volumes have remained relatively stable since 2022, though regional shifts—such as increased imports by India and decreased reliance on European suppliers—coincide with fluctuations in Methylcyclohexane prices amid feedstock cost adjustments and regional regulatory developments.
Methylcyclohexane is a clear, colorless, volatile liquid with a mild hydrocarbon odor. It is a saturated alicyclic hydrocarbon (cycloalkane) with a boiling point of approximately 101 °C and a melting point of −127 °C. It is widely used as a non-polar solvent in coatings, inks, adhesives, and cleaning formulations due to its favorable evaporation rate and solvency power. As a chemical intermediate, it serves in the production of methylcyclohexanol and methylcyclohexanone—key precursors for nylon-6,6 and other polyamide resins. Its applications span industrial solvents, polymer manufacturing, and specialty chemical synthesis.
Solvent; starting material in the synthesis of toluene.
Methylcyclohexane, an alkene, is a colorlessliquid with a faint benzene-like odor. The odor threshold is 630 ppm (this is above the OEL).
This chemical is included in Basic Chemicals. See more about what is Methylcyclohexane and Methylcyclohexane SDS information.
