Description
N,N-Dimethylcyclohexylamine (CAS 98-94-2) is a tertiary aliphatic amine supplied as a clear liquid under trade names including Polycat 8, Toyocat DMCH, Wondamine DMCA, and LUPRAGEN N 100. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29213010.
In food and personal care formulations, it functions as a flavorant and antimicrobial agent, where its tertiary amine structure enables proton-accepting activity that disrupts microbial cell membranes. In pharmaceutical and cosmetic preservation systems, it acts as a biocide and pH-modulating component, contributing to product stability and microbial control.
This material is available in standard liquid grades compliant with applicable REACH registration requirements. Procurement teams should confirm grade suitability against FCC or Ph.Eur. specifications depending on end-use application. Packaging formats typically include drums and IBC containers for bulk industrial supply.
