The fully saturated hydrocarbon ethylcyclohexane (ECH) is distinguished by an unusual property: with a freezing point of -111°C and a boiling point of 131°C, it has an extraordinarily long liquid range of 242 K.
ECH is formed by catalytic hydrogenation of 4-vinylcyclohexene, a dimerization product of butadiene. We supply ECH of average purity 85%, the other component present being ethylbenzene.
thanks to its saturated character, ECH is an outstanding solvent for apolar substances.
