DMAEE 2-[2-(Dimethylamino)ethoxy]ethanol CAS 1704-62-7

Product Overview

 DMAEE is the abbreviation for 2-[2-(Dimethylamino)ethoxy]ethanol, a tertiary amine polyurethane catalyst widely used in rigid and flexible polyurethane foam systems.

Features

Strong blowing catalyst for water/isocyanate reaction

Promotes foam rise and curing

Improves foam skin curing

Low odor / low VOC

Useful in all-water foam systems

Often used with catalysts such as:

BDMAEE

PMDETA

PC-5

DMDEE

Applications

DMAEE is mainly used as a low-odor reactive polyurethane catalyst for:

Rigid polyurethane foam

Spray polyurethane foam (SPF)

PIR/PUR insulation panels

Molded flexible foam

Polyether slabstock foam

Packaging foam

Refrigeration insulation foam

Because DMAEE contains both:

a tertiary amine group (catalytic activity), and

a hydroxyl group (reactive functionality),

it can chemically bond into the polyurethane matrix, helping reduce VOC emissions and residual amine odor.

Storage

 Common package: 200 kg drum

 Store in cool, dry, ventilated area

 Avoid contact with acids and oxidizers

 Hygroscopic; keep container tightly closed
