Description

N,N,N′-Trimethylaminoethyl ethanolamine (CAS 2212-32-0 ), also known as N,N,N'-Trimethyldiethanolamine, is a tertiary amine alcohol used as a catalyst and polymerization initiator in polymer manufacturing. Its dual amine-alcohol functionality makes it effective for driving urethane and epoxy cure reactions at controlled rates. In polyurethane foam and elastomer production, it acts as a reactive catalyst. The compound becomes incorporated into the polymer backbone, reducing volatile emissions compared to non-reactive alternatives. Coatings formulators use it to accelerate cure in two-component epoxy and urethane systems. This application improves throughput without sacrificing film integrity. In adhesive and sealant compounding, it supports controlled gelation and crosslink density, which directly affects bond strength and open time. Plastics manufacturers also employ it as an initiator in ring-opening polymerization processes for specialty polymer architectures. N,N,N′-Trimethylaminoethyl ethanolamine is supplied as a liquid. Technical grade is the standard commercial offering, with purity levels typically specified at 98% or higher for catalyst applications. Bulk quantities are available in drums and IBC containers. Packaging is suited to industrial-scale formulation operations. This chemical provides essential performance characteristics for high-performance polymer systems across multiple industrial sectors.
