Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for cyclohexanone used in polishing and stripping formulations?
A: The CAS number is 108-94-1. All commercial-grade batches are verified via GC-MS against this reference standard.
Q2: What is the typical recommended concentration range when formulating a non-aqueous polishing solution?
A: For most industrial polishing concentrates, cyclohexanone is used at 30–65 wt% alongside co-solvents and rheology modifiers—exact ratios depend on substrate sensitivity and removal kinetics requirements.
Q3: How does cyclohexanone compare to methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or acetone in stripping performance?
A: Cyclohexanone offers slower evaporation, higher boiling point, and superior solvency for tough resin systems versus MEK or acetone—reducing rework risk and improving worker exposure control.
Q4: Is cyclohexanone subject to food contact or pharmaceutical migration testing requirements?
A: Cyclohexanone is not approved for direct food contact applications. When used in packaging equipment cleaning, residual limits must comply with FDA 21 CFR §175.300 and EU Plastics Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 extractable thresholds.
