Cyclohexane overview Transcript Cyclohexane is a chemical that
is mostly used really as a feedstock for other chemicals. The
feedstocks for cyclohexane, there’s really one, its benzene.
Cyclohexane production is mostly based on the catalytic
hydrogenation of benzene because of its simplicity and high
efficiency. Nearly all cyclohexane in North America is consumed
internally. These products are mostly used to make nylon 6, or
nylon 6,6 or even caprolactam. The key driver in this market, of
course is benzene, which is factored in to an industry-based
formula which is used by ICIS. ICIS has a contract price for the
US which is updated monthly.
