Product Description
Cyclohexylamine (CHA) is a primary aliphatic amine with the molecular formula C₆H₁₃N.
It is commonly used as a chemical intermediate and as a neutralizing amine in suitable steam condensate treatment formulations.
In boiler systems, Cyclohexylamine helps neutralize carbonic acid formed when dissolved carbon dioxide enters the steam condensate system. This helps maintain condensate pH and reduce acid-related corrosion in compatible steam distribution and condensate return lines.
Cyclohexylamine is used for cellulose acetate and rubber accelerator, sweetening agent. Cyclohexylamine is mainly used for producing (Beet) molasses, cyclone, amide, nylon 6.
Application
C 2810 (OTTO) Cyclohexylamine, 99% Cas 108-91-8 - used as an intermediate in synthesis of other organic compounds. It is the precursor to sulfenamide-based reagents used as accelerators for vulcanization.

Precautions & Remarks
Cyclohexylamine for Marine Boiler Treatment
Marine steam systems require suitable chemical treatment to reduce corrosion and maintain reliable operation.
Cyclohexylamine is one of the neutralizing amines that may be used in formulated marine condensate treatment chemicals.
RXSOL marine boiler treatment products are intended to help control common boiler and condensate problems, including:
-
Acidic condensate corrosion
-
Scale formation
-
Dissolved oxygen corrosion
-
Improper alkalinity
-
Sludge deposition
-
Steam and condensate system deterioration
Cyclohexylamine selection and dosage should be based on the complete boiler treatment programme, not simply on product concentration.
Handling & Safety Precautions
Cyclohexylamine is a flammable and corrosive chemical and requires appropriate industrial handling precautions.
-
Avoid inhalation of vapours.
-
Prevent contact with skin and eyes.
-
Use chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing and suitable eye/face protection.
-
Provide adequate ventilation.
-
Keep away from heat, sparks, flames and ignition sources.
-
Store in suitable, tightly closed containers.
-
Keep separate from incompatible chemicals, including strong acids and oxidizing agents.
-
Follow the current Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Important: Cyclohexylamine is hazardous and must not be handled as an ordinary, low-risk boiler additive. Steam applications involving food contact or other regulated uses require additional approval and compliance checks.
