Description
Dicyclohexylamine (CAS 101-83-7), also known as DICHA, di-cha, aminodicyclohexane, and bis(cyclohexyl)amine, is a secondary aliphatic amine with the molecular formula C12H23N. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29213000 within the broader amines category.
In pharmaceutical synthesis, dicyclohexylamine functions as a salt-forming base, stabilising active ingredients during purification and improving crystallisation yields. In polymer and rubber processing, it acts as a catalyst and accelerator, promoting vulcanisation and cross-linking reactions. It also serves as a flavorant intermediate in food and nutrition applications.
Dicyclohexylamine is available in liquid and crystalline powder grades, with quality specifications aligned to FCC and Ph.Eur. standards where applicable. It is registered under REACH (EC 202-980-7) and supplied in standard industrial packaging. Procurement teams should confirm grade suitability against application-specific purity requirements.
