CAS No. 141-63-9 is an industrial chemical known as cyclohexanone. It is a colorless liquid with a mild, sweet odor and is a common industrial solvent. It is used in the production of synthetic fibers, resins, plastics, paints, and inks. It is also used in perfume and flavor industry, in organic synthesis, and as a solvent for organic compounds.

Cyclohexanone is a cyclic ketone and is easily obtained by oxidizing cyclohexanol. It is a versatile intermediate used to produce a variety of products. It is used in the production of nylon-6,6, a type of synthetic fiber used in the manufacture of clothing, carpets, and other products. It is also used to produce adipic acid, a dibasic acid used in the production of nylon-6 and other plastics.

Cyclohexanone is also used in the manufacture of phenol-formaldehyde resins and urea-formaldehyde resins, which are used in the production of adhesives, wood finishes, and electrical insulators. It is also used in the manufacture of synthetic lubricants and in the production of epoxy resins. In the flavor and fragrance industry, it is used as a flavorant and to modify and enhance the scent of other compounds.

Cyclohexanone is a flammable liquid and should be handled with care. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sources of ignition and out of direct sunlight. It should be kept away from incompatible materials, including oxidizing agents, acids, and bases. It is also toxic when ingested or inhaled, and protective gear should be worn when handling it.
