Cyclohexylamine Laurate is also known as Hexahydroaniline Laurate and 1-Aminocyclohexane Laurate. It is a clear, colorless liquid with an ammonia-like odor. Cyclohexylamine Laurate is primarily used as a surfactant in cleaning and degreasing products, and as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, rubber products, and other organic compounds.
When exposed to cyclohexylamine laurate, rubber materials can experience swelling, hardening, softening, cracking, and embrittlement. These types of failures will occur as a result of the chemical's amine properties, which can degrade the rubber material and cause it to become brittle and crack. Additionally, cyclohexylamine laurate can cause rubber to swell, leading to an increase in the material's softness and a decrease in its strength.
