Product Profile

Monocyclohexylamine (MCHA), also known as Cyclohexylamine, is a high-purity primary alicyclic amine widely used in the production of rubber chemicals, corrosion inhibitors, boiler water treatment chemicals, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, and specialty chemicals.

It is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic fishy or ammoniacal odor and forms a homogeneous mixture with water. Due to its strong alkalinity, excellent reactivity, and versatility in industrial chemical synthesis, Monocyclohexylamine serves as an important intermediate and functional additive across a wide range of industrial applications.
