Key Properties and Safety Information

Cyclohexylamine is a hygroscopic organic liquid with a strongly basic nature (pH 12.4 at 1% solution). It is corrosive, toxic at high concentrations, and incompatible with acids, oxidizers, and alkyl halides. While it is non-reactive with water, strict safety measures are required during storage and transport because of its low flash point and corrosiveness. Always store in tightly closed containers, away from moisture and incompatible materials in a cool, well-ventilated place.


Production and Applications

Cyclohexylamine is produced mainly by the hydrogenation of aniline or cyclohexanone oxime. Its versatility makes it valuable in diverse industriesmost notably in the synthesis of rubber chemicals, as a corrosion inhibitor, and in manufacturing pharmaceuticals, dyes, and pesticides. Its basic properties also make it an effective ingredient in cyclamate sweeteners and certain emulsifiers. The compounds water-miscibility enhances its utility across multiple chemical processes.
