Cyclohexylamine is extremely toxic being taken in by any route, including dermal, ingestion, inhalation, and mucous membranes.
After thirty years’ development, the production of cyclohexylamine now in China becomes mature, including the technology and the industrial chain.
As a downstream product of aniline, its market price is mainly based on aniline’s price. In China, it is mainly used to produce cyclamate and CBS, different from situation abroad. In the previous years, the output and application have been steadily growing in the past years.
Since 2001, the cyclamate business and CBS business turned good, pushing the CHA industry developed faster than before. However, the situation is still serious for cyclohexylamine producers, for the low profit and simple application fields.
As a country whose economy mainly driven by the export business, the production of cyclohexylamine in China was ever closely connected with the world economic depression, or the anti-dumping charges, which are against China’s cyclamate and CBS.
The production of cyclohexylamine will the steadily increase in the next few years, without abrupt increase or decrease. However, the competition of this industry will be also more severe, for its oversupply.
