DABCO® Crystalline

CAS Number
280-57-9
Chemical Name
Triethylenediamine

DABCO® Crystalline is a high-purity triethylenediamine (TEDA), serving as a powerful catalyst for urethane (polyol-isocyanate) reactions. It finds application in a variety of polyurethane applications. DABCO® Crystalline is used in all types of polyurethane foams, including flexible slabstock, flexible molded, rigid, semi-flexible, and elastomeric. Additionally, it is utilized in polyurethane coating applications. The main function of DABCO® Crystalline is to accelerate the reactions between isocyanate and water, as well as between isocyanate and organic hydroxyl groups.

Applications

DABCO® CRYSTALLINE is used in all types of polyurethane foams including flexible slabstock, flexible molded, rigid, semi-flexible and elasto- meric. It is also used in polyurethane coatings applications. DABCO® CRYSTALLINE accelerates the reactions between the isocyanate and water and the isocyanate and organic hydroxyl groups.; In flexible slabstock foam systems, DABCO® CRYSTALLINE can be used with a stannous octoate catalyst, such as DABCO® T 9. In flexible molded systems, DABCO® CRYSTALLINE can be used with a blow co-catalyst, such as DABCO® BL 11. In rigid systems, DABCO® CRYSTALLINE is frequently used with DABCO® DMEA (dimethylethanolamine). In general, DABCO® CRYSTALLINE can be used in combination with all kinds of catalysts.; DABCO® CRYSTALLINE is also available in liquid forms as DABCO® 33 LV, DABCO® EG, DABCO® 25 S and DABCO® 33 S catalysts. All these products are solutions of DABCO® CRYSTALLINE in different solvents.
