Product Profile
Dicyclohexylamine (DCHA) is a secondary alicyclic amine widely used as a chemical intermediate, corrosion inhibitor, rubber chemical additive, and pH control agent.
It is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic fishy or ammoniacal odor and may gradually darken upon prolonged exposure to air. Due to its strong basicity and excellent chemical stability, Dicyclohexylamine is extensively utilized in water treatment, pharmaceuticals, coatings, rubber processing, and specialty chemical manufacturing.
Applications
Dicyclohexylamine is widely used in:
Corrosion inhibitors and boiler water treatment chemicals
Rubber vulcanization accelerators
Pharmaceutical intermediates
Paints and coatings
Varnishes and resins
Detergents and surfactants
Textile auxiliaries
Organic synthesis and specialty chemicals
Acid scavengers and pH regulators
