Fireproof. Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing. Separated from strong oxidants. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.
Most solvents and reagents, as received from the manufacturer, had low levels of peroxides. After opening the container, peroxides were formed rapidly in many solvents.

Cyclohexane Use and Manufacturing
It is mainly used in the manufacture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone. It is widely used as a solvent in the paint industry. It is also used as a solvent in organic synthesis; extraction solvent; pigment diluent. Most of cyclohexane is used to make adipic acid, caprolactam and hexamethylene diamine (98% of total consumption), a small part is used to make cyclohexylamine and other aspects, such as fiber ethers, fats, oils , Wax, asphalt, resin and rubber solvent; organic and recrystallization media; paint and varnish remover, etc. It can be used as a raw material for nylon 6 and nylon 66. It can also be used as a polymerization diluent, paint remover, detergent, adipic acid extractant and binder.
