Methylcyclohexane, saturated hydrocarbon, is an organic compound with the molecular formula CH3C6H11. It is a colorless liquid with a faint petroleum-like odor. Hydrogenation of toluene results in the formation of methylcyclohexane. It is chemically stable, possesses non-toxic characteristic, and is more environmental friendly than toluene. Hazardous solvents such as toluene and tri-chloro ethane are widely being replaced by methylcyclohexane in various applications. Methylcyclohexane is used as a dye solvent in optical disc manufacturing, solvent for adhesives, paints, and inks. It is extensively employed as a green solvent in the adhesive industry. Other industrial applications include laboratory chemicals, machinery manufacturing and repair, rubber manufacturing, and nylon production. Rise in demand for automobiles, consumer electronics, etc., is likely to drive the methylcyclohexane market. The health and environmental effects of toluene are compelling manufacturers to replace it with a substitute such as methylcyclohexane methylcyclohexane in various applications. However, methylcyclohexane possesses a few characteristics that make it hazardous to health and the environment. Cyclohexane is responsible for the formation of petrochemical smog and leads to air pollution. When released in air, cyclohexane breaks down into its component chemicals. It does not bind well with soil and mixes with underground water. Methylcyclohexane is hazardous to aquatic life. Furthermore, prolonged exposure to methylcyclohexane results in several adverse health effects. The need for substitutes for methylcyclohexane is rising owing to the increase in health hazards from its usage and implementation of stringent government norms on environmental pollution.
