Application

Cyclohexylbenzene is a colorless, oily liquid with impressive solvent capabilities. It is soluble in various substances such as alcohol, acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, castor oil, hexane, and xylene, but remains insoluble in water and glycerol. It serves primarily as a high boiling point solvent, making it essential in applications like penetrating plastics, paints, and adhesives. Additionally, cyclohexylbenzene plays a crucial role in enhancing lithium-ion battery safety as an electrolyte additive. Beyond these uses, it is instrumental in producing chemical intermediates like phenol and cyclohexanone and is key in preparing liquid crystal display material intermediates, specifically 4-ethyl cyclohexyl benzoic acid.
