DMAEE Polyurethane Catalyst for Flexible Foam Applications
Summary: DMAEE is a tertiary amine catalyst widely used in polyurethane foam production. With a purity of ≥98% (GC), it provides balanced reactivity and excellent solubility, making it suitable for flexible foam systems that require controlled rise and cure times.
Key Selling Points
- ≥98% minimum purity (GC): Ensures consistent catalytic activity and predictable foam properties, reducing batch-to-batch variability.
- Clear, colorless liquid at room temperature: Easy to handle, dose accurately, and incorporate into formulations without color interference in finished products.
- Solubility in water: Enables straightforward incorporation into aqueous systems and simplifies cleaning procedures.
- Specific density 0.95 g/cm³ and boiling point 201-205°C: Provides predictable processing parameters for industrial foam manufacturing.

Materials and Structure
DMAEE is synthesized from dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE, CAS 108-01-0), ethylene oxide (EO, CAS 75-21-8), and dimethylamine (DMA, CAS 124-40-3). Its amino-ether structure provides both catalytic activity and hydrophilicity.
Applications
Primarily used as a catalyst in polyurethane foam, particularly in flexible foam production where balanced reactivity is needed. It can also be used in other polyurethane systems such as coatings, adhesives, and elastomers.

FAQ
Q1: What is the typical shelf life of DMAEE?
A: Under proper storage conditions (cool, dry, and well-ventilated area), the shelf life is typically 12 months from the date of manufacture.
Q2: Can DMAEE be used in high-resilience (HR) foam formulations?
A: Yes, DMAEE's balanced reactivity makes it suitable for a range of flexible foam types, including HR foam, but dosage should be optimized based on the specific formulation.
Q3: Is DMAEE soluble in common polyols?
A: It is water-soluble and generally compatible with polyether polyols commonly used in polyurethane foam production.
Q4: What safety precautions should be taken when handling DMAEE?
A: Use personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles), avoid skin contact, and ensure adequate ventilation. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed information.
Q5: Do you provide samples for evaluation?
A: Yes, samples are available upon request. Please contact us with your company details and intended application.
Q6: What is the minimum order quantity for DMAEE?
A: Our MOQ is flexible and can be customized according to customer needs. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
Q7: What are the payment terms?
A: We accept T/T and L/C. For long-term cooperation, other terms may be negotiated.
