Cyclohexanol is used in making soaps, dry cleaning agents and plasticizers. It acts as a solvent for rubber, resins, nitrocellulose, metallic soaps, oils, esters and ethers. It is used in the preparation of adipic acid, hexamethylene diamine, cyclohexanone and caprolactam. It acts as a soap stabilizing agent, disinfection medicated soap and detergent emulsion. It is also useful for paint blending agent, leather degreasing agent and polishes.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Cyclohexyl esters can be used to protect carboxylic acids, including aspartate residues in peptide synthesis, resulting in reduced aspartimide formation during acidic or basic reactions: Synthesis, 361 (1992).
