Industrial Applications in Kenya

1. Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Our USP-grade cyclohexanone is essential for:

  • API Synthesis: Solvent for antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin) and steroids
  • Extraction: Isolation of plant-derived active compounds
  • Equipment Cleaning: Effective sterilant for production lines

Recommended Usage:

  • 5-15% concentration in most syntheses
  • Must be fully evaporated from final products

2. Paints & Coatings Industry

  • Resin Solvent: For epoxy, acrylic, and alkyd formulations
  • Viscosity Control: Reduces thickness without compromising quality
  • Spray Gun Cleaning: Removes dried paint residues effectively

Technical Tip:
Use with nitrile gloves and fume extraction due to flammability.

3. Textile Processing

  • Fiber Degreasing: Prepares synthetic fabrics for dyeing
  • Dye Carrier: Enhances polyester color penetration
  • Mercerization Aid: Improves cotton fiber strength

4. Industrial Maintenance

  • Metal Degreasing: Removes heavy oils from machinery
  • Adhesive Removal: Dissolves epoxy/acrylic residues
  • 3D Printer Cleaning: Maintains print head performance

5. Chemical Production

  • Nylon Intermediate: Cyclohexanone-oxime production
  • Organic Synthesis: Reagent for ketone reactions
