Description
2-(2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy)ethanol (CAS 1704-62-7) is a tertiary amine-functional glycol ether supplied under trade names including Kaolizer 26, PC CAT NP 70, PC CAT NP 170, Texacat ZR-70, and Texacat ZR 70. It carries EC number 216-940-1 and the molecular formula C6H15NO2. No E-code applies to this substance.
In polyurethane foam production, it functions as a reactive catalyst that accelerates the gelling reaction while its hydroxyl group allows it to incorporate into the polymer backbone, reducing amine emissions. In waterborne coatings and metalworking fluids, it serves as a pH buffer and co-solvent, stabilising formulation pH and improving resin compatibility.
This product is registered under REACH and classified under HS code 29225090 for customs purposes. It is available as a clear liquid in standard industrial packaging including drums and IBCs. Buyers should confirm grade specifications and SDS documentation directly with the supplier prior to procurement.
