Description
Bis(2-morpholinoethyl) Ether, CAS 6425-39-4, is a tertiary diamine ether supplied under trade names including Texacat DMDEE and LUPRAGEN N 106. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29349990. The compound is commonly abbreviated as DMDEE within formulation and procurement contexts.
In polyurethane systems, DMDEE functions as a selective catalyst for the urethane-forming reaction between isocyanates and water, promoting CO2 blowing in rigid and flexible foam applications. It is also incorporated into sealants and adhesives as a latent curing catalyst, and its morpholine-based structure contributes antimicrobial activity relevant to preservation applications in coatings and construction products.
DMDEE is available as a liquid and is subject to REACH registration requirements for supply within the European Economic Area. Procurement teams should confirm SDS compliance and substance registration status with the supplying entity prior to purchase. Standard packaging formats vary by supplier volume tier.
