Main Applications
- Polymer Industry:
- Nylon Production: Critical intermediate in the synthesis of adipic acid and caprolactam, which are monomers for nylon 6,6 and nylon 6, respectively.
- Adipic acid: Reacted with hexamethylenediamine to form nylon 6,6.
- Caprolactam: Polymerized to produce nylon 6.
- Solvent Applications:
- Used as a solvent for resins, paints, varnishes, and lacquers (e.g., in automotive and industrial coatings).
- Effective in dissolving cellulose ethers, vinyl polymers, and natural rubber.
- Chemical Intermediates:
- Used in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals (e.g., herbicides and insecticides), and plasticizers.
- A precursor for cyclohexanone oxime, which is converted to caprolactam.
- Laboratory and Industrial Reagents:
- Serves as a reagent in organic synthesis (e.g., for the preparation of oximes, hydrazones, and enamines).
- Used in the extraction of fats, oils, and waxes.
Packaging and Storage
- Packaging:
- Transported in stainless steel tanks, galvanized iron drums, or plastic-lined containers (typically 180-200 kg drums).
- Storage Conditions:
- Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
- Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent vapor leakage.
- Avoid contact with oxidizing agents and strong acids.
Safety and Toxicity
- Hazards:
- Toxicity: Harmful if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Chronic exposure may cause liver and kidney damage.
- Irritation: Vapors irritate the eyes and respiratory system; liquid causes skin irritation.
- Flammability: Combustible liquid; vapor may form explosive mixtures with air.
- Handling Precautions:
- Wear protective gloves, goggles, and a respirator in poorly ventilated areas.
- Ensure good ventilation during use to prevent vapor accumulation.
- Avoid spillage; use fireproof equipment in case of ignition.
