Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package

PREPARATION OF AMINOCYCLOHEXANE:
Aminocyclohexane is produced by two routes, the main one being the complete hydrogenation of aniline using some cobalt- or nickel-based catalysts:
C6H5NH2 + 3 H2 → C6H11NH2
Aminocyclohexane is also prepared by alkylation of ammonia using cyclohexanol.

APPLICATIONS OF AMINOCYCLOHEXANE:
Cyclamate, a derivative of cyclohexylamine, is a popular artificial sweetener.
Cyclohexylamine is used as an intermediate in synthesis of other organic compounds. 
Aminocyclohexane is the precursor to sulfenamide-based reagents used as accelerators for vulcanization.
