Cyclohexylamine benzoate

Cyclohexylamine benzoate (CAS 3129-92-8), also known as cyclohexylammonium benzoate, is a vapor-phase corrosion inhibitor used to protect ferrous and non-ferrous metals during storage, transit, and processing.

Where is Cyclohexylamine benzoate used?

• Packaging: volatile corrosion inhibitor films and papers, including foam emitters for finished metal components, machined parts and tooling in long-term storage or export shipping
• Metalworking fluids: extends the protection window for steel and cast iron parts between production stages
• Coatings: additive in primers and temporary protective coatings for automotive components
• Industrial equipment
• Adhesive and sealant manufacturers evaluate it to condition metal surfaces before curing.

Good to know: It functions by releasing inhibiting vapors that form a protective molecular layer on metal surfaces without direct contact.

Commercial specifications

• Packaging from kilogram-scale bags to bulk quantities
