Methyl cyclohexane
« on: November 06, 2008, 10:38:32 AM »
Does any one know what the electrical conductivity of methyl cyclohexane is?

Can`t find it anywhere?

Any help would be great, thanks!

I imagine it's very small or almost non-existent.

I think that's the point I assume the OP is trying to determine if the materials is a non conductive liquid prone to static build up during transfers.  I would assume it is similar to cylcohexane and 100pS/m or less
