Methylcyclohexane, also known as hexahydrotoluene, cyclohexylmethane, etc., CAS No. 108-87-2, is a colorless transparent liquid, mainly used as a solvent, chromatographic analysis standard material and as a calibration thermometer standard, but also used in organic synthesis. For example:

1, used as a solvent or analytical reagent;

2, is an important organic solvent and extractant, widely used in rubber, paint, grease and other industries;

3, used as a standard material for chromatographic analysis, and as a standard for calibration of thermometers;

4, also used in organic synthesis;

Methyl cyclohexane, its vapor and air can form an explosive mixture, when the heat source and open flame have the risk of combustion and explosion. Therefore, it is recommended to store it in a cool and ventilated warehouse, away from fire and heat sources, and the temperature of the warehouse should not exceed 37 ° C. Keep the container sealed. Should be stored separately from oxidizer, do not mix storage. Explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities are adopted. Do not use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to spark. The storage area should be equipped with leak emergency treatment equipment and suitable containment materials.

In addition, it should be noted that the substance is harmful to the environment, and special attention should be paid to the pollution of surface water, soil, atmosphere and drinking water.
