Bis(2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether（Cat No.:R057178）, also known as BDMAEE, is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with the molecular formula C8H20N2O. It is a tertiary amine ether commonly used as a catalyst in polyurethane foam production, promoting the reaction between isocyanates and polyols. Its dual dimethylaminoethyl groups enhance its catalytic efficiency and solubility in various formulations. BDMAEE is also used in coatings, adhesives, and sealants. Due to its volatility and amine content, it should be handled with proper ventilation. It plays a crucial role in controlling foam structure, reactivity, and curing time.
