Ethyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate

Ethyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate (CAS 10287-53-3) is an aromatic amine ester supplied under trade names including Parbenate, SPEEDCURE EDB, Kayacure EPA, and SYNCURE EPD. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29224995 within the broader category of monomers and building blocks.

In UV-curable coatings and printing inks, it functions as a co-initiator alongside Type I photoinitiators such as benzophenone, donating a hydrogen atom to accelerate radical generation and improve cure speed under UV exposure. In adhesive and polymer formulations, it acts as a tertiary amine catalyst to promote cross-linking reactions, particularly in systems requiring controlled cure onset.

This material is available as a white crystalline powder conforming to REACH registration requirements for supply within the EU. Standard packaging formats include multi-kilogram drums suitable for industrial procurement. Buyers should confirm grade specifications and purity certificates directly with the supplier prior to formulation use.
