Triethylene Diamine (TEDA) CAS 280-57-9 – Product Overview, Applications, and Supply
Product Name
Triethylene Diamine (TEDA)
Also known as 1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO)
Product Description
Triethylene Diamine (TEDA) is a highly effective tertiary amine catalyst widely used in the polyurethane industry. It appears as a white crystalline solid or pellets with strong catalytic activity and excellent stability.
TEDA is primarily used as a polyurethane catalyst to accelerate the reaction between polyols and isocyanates, helping control foam structure, curing speed, and final material properties. Due to its high efficiency, small dosage, and stable catalytic performance, it is considered one of the most important catalysts in polyurethane foam production.
Triethylene Diamine is also used in coatings, adhesives, elastomers, and specialty chemical synthesis.
