| Uses |
Cyclohexanone is an important chemical raw material and the main intermediate for the manufacture of nylon, caprolactam and adipic acid. It is also an important industrial solvent. It is used as an excellent solvent for organic phosphorus pesticides and many similar pesticides, as a solvent for dyes, as a viscous solvent for piston-type aviation lubricants, and as a solvent for grease, wax and rubber. It is also used as a leveling agent for dyeing and fading silk, a degreasing agent for polishing metal, wood coloring and painting, and cyclohexanone can be used to remove film, stain and spot. Used as a high boiling point solvent for nail polish and other cosmetics |

| Fire-fighting measures |
Fire fighting method: spray water to cool the container, and if possible, move the container from the fire scene to an open place.
Extinguishing agent: foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide, sand. |
| Emergency treatment |
Skin contact: Take off contaminated clothing and rinse the skin thoroughly with soap and water. Eye contact: Lift the eyelid immediately and rinse thoroughly with plenty of running water or saline for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. Inhalation: quickly leave the scene to a place with fresh air. Keep the airway open. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing stops, give artificial respiration immediately. Seek medical attention. Ingestion: Drink enough warm water, induce vomiting and seek medical attention. |
