Description
Cyclohexanone (CAS 108-94-1, EC 203-631-1, formula C6H10O) is a cyclic ketone solvent also known by the trade names Anon, Anone, and Nadone. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29142200. It is commercially available as a high-purity liquid for industrial and specialty applications.
In food and fragrance applications, cyclohexanone functions as a flavorant and fragrance component, contributing peppermint-like and acetone-like odor notes at concentrations governed by its low odor threshold of 0.12–0.24 ppm. As a solvent and carrier, it dissolves resins, lacquers, and active ingredients, enabling uniform dispersion in cosmetic and personal care formulations.
Cyclohexanone is sourced in technical and high-purity grades compliant with REACH registration requirements. Suppliers typically offer FCC-grade material for food and flavor applications. Standard packaging formats include drums and IBC containers, with documentation available to support regulatory submissions across EU markets.
