Cyclohexanone/anol

In what kind of stores may one find this OTC?

garage chemist - 1-6-2007 at 07:21

None.

Cyclohexanone is however easily made from adipic acid, which can be bought cheaply as a food additive (though not OTC).

usual ingredient in PVC cement

Oops, I confused it with cyclopentanone, which isnt OTC. My bad.

Cyclohexanone is found in PVC cement, in admixture with other solvents like THF. Fractional distillation can be used to separate pure cyclohexanone.

I can get Cyclohexanone and others similar quite cheaply.
I also have a Cyclohexanol supplier but they are situated in the US ( I am in the uk )

PM me if you are looking to buy some or trade for some of either and i will contact my chem supplier and see what i can do.

Also please contact me if you have any chemicals and are looking to trade / sell some.

The last purchase of Cyclohexanone i payed about £8 including postage for 250ml.

why dont u just buy more then. thats not a bad price for a PI (private individual).

If Drunkguy was talking to me, it because its not me that is wanting the chemical. I was just stating the price i pay. If i wanted more i would buy more, i know its not a bad price.

You could look at Hach's website, for cyclohexanone. They sell 100 ml bottles in conjunction with their "Zincon" method for Zn analysis in wastewater.

Not cheap, perhaps. But they're easy to do business with.
