What is 2-(2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy)ethanol?
2-(2-(Dimethylamino)ethoxy)ethanol (CAS 1704-62-7), also known as DMAEE or N,N-Dimethyldiglycolamine, is a bifunctional amine-alcohol used as a catalyst and pH regulator.
Where is 2-(2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy)ethanol used?
- Polyurethane foam and coatings: tertiary amine catalyst promoting gel and blow reactions, influencing foam structure and cure profile
- Waterborne coatings and latex: neutralizing amine for pH adjustment and dispersion stability
- Adhesives and sealants: cure accelerator and reactive diluent that integrates into the polymer matrix
- Metalworking fluids: pH buffering that maintains alkalinity and corrosion inhibition over extended service cycles
- Its dual amine and hydroxyl functionality suits coatings, polymer and industrial chemical systems needing reactivity and aqueous compatibility.
Commercial specifications
- Purity commonly 98% or higher
- Drum and IBC quantities; bulk tanker supply
