N,N-Bis(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N-(2-hydroxypropyl)amine

N,N-Bis(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N-(2-hydroxypropyl)amine (CAS 67151-63-7, EC 266-587-2, formula C13H31N3O) is a tertiary amine catalyst commercially known under trade names including Jeffcat ZR 50, Texacat ZR 50, PC CAT NP 15, and Zr 50. It carries no assigned E-code and belongs to the broader class of alkylamine catalysts.

This compound functions primarily as a reactive catalyst in polyurethane foam systems, where its hydroxyl group allows it to chemically bond into the polymer matrix, reducing amine emissions in finished parts. It accelerates both the gel and blow reactions in flexible and rigid foam formulations, and is also employed in polyurethane coatings and adhesives where low-volatility catalyst performance is required.

The product is supplied under REACH compliance for the European market. Procurement teams should confirm available packaging formats and purity grades directly with the supplier, as specifications may vary by production batch and intended application.
