2-(2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy)ethanol

High Purity 2-(2-(Dimethylamino)ethoxy)ethanol Manufacturer & Supplier

2-(2-(Dimethylamino)ethoxy)ethanol (DMAEE) is a multifunctional tertiary amino alcohol compound containing both a dimethylamino group and a hydroxyl functional group. Due to its excellent catalytic activity, low viscosity, water solubility, and compatibility with polyurethane systems, DMAEE is widely used as a high-performance polyurethane catalyst, chemical intermediate, and specialty amine additive.

DMAEE is a reactive tertiary amine catalyst that mainly promotes the water–isocyanate blowing reaction. Its hydroxyl group can react with isocyanates and incorporate the catalyst into the polyurethane matrix. Applications include spray foam, packaging foam and other suitable polyurethane foam formulations. The balance between blowing and gelling should be established through formulation trials.
