Product Usage:

N,N-Dimethylbenzylamine is primarily used as a catalyst in the polyurethane industry for the production of both rigid and flexible foams. It also serves as an effective curing agent for epoxy resins, contributing to the formation of strong, durable thermoset plastics. Beyond these major applications, it finds use as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals, including quaternary ammonium compounds which are used as phase transfer catalysts or biocides. For example, it accelerates the reaction between isocyanates and polyols in foam manufacturing, and promotes cross-linking in epoxy systems.
