Description
N-(Dimethylaminoethyl)-N-methylethanolamine (CAS 2212-32-0) is a tertiary amine catalyst supplied under trade names including Jeffcat Z 110, Toyocat RX 5, and DABCO T. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under EC 218-658-4. The compound belongs to the ethanolamine-functional amine family.
In flexible and rigid polyurethane foam production, this catalyst promotes the urethane (gel) reaction between isocyanates and polyols while its hydroxyl group allows it to react into the polymer backbone, reducing amine emissions. It is also used in coatings and adhesive formulations where controlled polymerization initiation and low volatility are process requirements.
The material is supplied as a liquid and is subject to REACH registration requirements within the European Economic Area. Procurement teams should confirm SDS compliance and packaging format directly with the supplier, as drum and IBC configurations are typical for industrial-grade amine catalysts of this type.
