Description
2-[[2-[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy]ethyl]methylamino]ethanol (CAS 83016-70-0, EC 406-080-7) is a tertiary amine catalyst supplied under trade names including ZF-10, Thancat ZF-10, and Texacat ZF-10. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified within the reactive amine category.
In polyurethane foam production, ZF-10 accelerates the urethane-forming reaction between isocyanates and polyols by nucleophilically activating the isocyanate group, enabling controlled gel and blow balance. Its hydroxyl-functional structure allows it to react into the polymer matrix, reducing amine emissions in finished foam. These properties make it applicable in flexible slabstock, coatings, and adhesive systems.
ZF-10 is available as a liquid product subject to REACH registration requirements within the European Economic Area. Suppliers typically offer it in drums and IBC containers. Procurement teams should confirm SDS compliance and purity specifications directly with the supplier prior to formulation trials.
