Description

Cyclohexanol (CAS 108-93-0 ), also known commercially as Hexalin or Hydralin, is a cyclic alcohol used primarily as a solvent and chemical intermediate across pharmaceutical and personal care manufacturing. It supports formulation development by dissolving a range of active ingredients and excipients that resist conventional solvents. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, it functions as a process solvent for synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients. Personal care formulators incorporate it into skin-conditioning products, where its humectant properties support moisture retention in creams and lotions. It also serves fragrance compounding as a carrier solvent for aromatic compounds. Specialty cleaning and surface treatment products in industrial settings use it to cut through greases and resins where water-miscible solvents underperform. It is supplied as a clear liquid in drum and IBC quantities. Bulk tanker options are available for larger procurement volumes. Standard commercial grades include technical and pharmaceutical-grade material, with purity levels typically at 99% or higher for regulated applications. Buyers sourcing for pharmaceutical or cosmetic use should confirm compliance with relevant pharmacopeial standards such as USP , Ph.Eur. , BP , or EP prior to procurement.
