Cyclohexane Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Cyclohexane (Product Code: SCI-477/203) is an analytical reagent grade cycloalkane solvent used to dissolve non-polar substances and to show how saturated hydrocarbons behave in school and college chemistry laboratories. Chemistry teachers and lab technicians order it as a 100 ml pack that comes with its MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India for teaching and research labs.

What Is Cyclohexane Used For?

In teaching labs, cyclohexane is the standard example of a saturated ring hydrocarbon. Shaken with bromine water away from strong light, it leaves the orange colour in place (the bromine simply moves into the upper organic layer), while an alkene decolourises it quickly, so students see the difference between saturated and unsaturated compounds side by side. Its puckered six-membered ring is also a favourite for conformation lessons with molecular models.

As a solvent, cyclohexane dissolves oils, fats, waxes and iodine and floats on water, which makes it handy for simple extractions and for recrystallising non-polar solids. It is highly flammable and its vapour spreads easily, so measure it out in a chemical fume cupboard away from burners, keep the bottle capped between uses and follow the handling advice in the MSDS.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, supplies Cyclohexane together with the glassware and safety items that solvent practicals call for, so a chemistry store can be restocked through a single enquiry. The company is based in Ambala, Haryana, and serves schools, colleges, research laboratories and dealers across India and international markets. Company background is on the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Laboratory Equipment

These items are commonly used alongside Cyclohexane in the same practical or storage routine:

• Bromine (Water Bromine) — the test reagent for unsaturation, with cyclohexane as the saturated control.
• Benzene 250 ml — an aromatic ring for comparison with the alicyclic cyclohexane ring.
• Separating Funnel (Separator) 125ml — separates the cyclohexane layer from water after an extraction.
• Fume Cupboard, Ductless — keeps solvent vapour away from students while dispensing.
• Solvent Spill Clean Up Kit — for absorbing accidental spills of flammable solvents.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pack size is Cyclohexane supplied in?
Cyclohexane (SCI-477/203) is supplied in a 100 ml pack of analytical reagent grade, together with its MSDS. If your laboratory needs several packs for a class set or a larger store, state the number of packs in your enquiry and we will quote for that quantity.

Why is Cyclohexane used as a control in the bromine water test?
Cyclohexane is a saturated hydrocarbon, so it has no double bond for bromine to add across and the orange colour remains when the two are shaken together without strong light. Running it beside an alkene shows students clearly how the bromine water test identifies unsaturation.

How should Cyclohexane be stored in a school laboratory?
Store Cyclohexane in its tightly closed bottle in a cool, well-ventilated flammables area, away from heat, sparks, open flames and oxidising agents. Keep the MSDS supplied with the pack near the store so staff can check handling, spill and first-aid guidance quickly.

What is the shelf life of Cyclohexane?
The shelf life of Cyclohexane depends on the chemical, its grade and how the bottle is stored once opened, so we do not quote a single figure. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and note the opening date on the label.

Can a certificate of analysis be provided with Cyclohexane?
Whether a batch certificate of analysis can accompany Cyclohexane depends on the lot being supplied. Mention this requirement when you write to us through the contact page and we will confirm what documentation, in addition to the MSDS, can be sent with your order.

Who supplies the Cyclohexane listed on this page?
The Cyclohexane on this page is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources and dispatches laboratory chemicals to schools, colleges, institutions and dealers in India and international markets, and quotes on request.
