    Description

    MOFAN DMAEE is a tertiary amine catalyst for the production of polyurethane foam. Because of high blowing activity, it is particularly well suited for use in formulations with a high water content, such as formulations for low-density packaging foams. The amine odor which is often typical for foams is reduced to a minimum by chemical incorporation of the substance in the polymer.

    Application

    MOFAN DMAEE is used for  ester based stabstock flexible foam, microcellulars, elastomers, RIM & RRIM and rigid foam packaging applications.

    FAQ

    I produce low-density packaging foam and need a catalyst that won’t cause over-gelling. What works?

    DMAAE is primarily a blowing catalyst; use it at 0.1–0.2 phr together with a small amount of gel catalyst like TEDA.

    How can DMAAE reduce the risk of foam shrinkage in molded parts?

    Its strong blowing action opens cells, reducing the closed-cell content that causes post-mold shrinkage.

    My water-blown rigid foam has a rough surface. Can DMAAE improve cell structure?

    Yes, it promotes finer cells by delaying gel formation until after bubble nucleation is complete.

    What is the advantage of DMAAE over BDMAEE (A-99) in high-water systems?

    DMAAE is less volatile and gives a slightly slower rise, making it easier to process in open-mold casting.

    Can DMAAE be used in one-component moisture-cure sealants?

    Not recommended; it is not moisture-triggered. Use DMDEE (MOFAN DMDE) instead.

    My PU coating has cratering due to fast evaporation of catalyst. How to avoid?

    Switch to DMAAE, which has a higher boiling point and stays in the film longer.

    Does DMAAE cause yellowing in aromatic isocyanate-based elastomers?

    Minimal; it’s an aliphatic amine, less discoloring than aromatic amines.

    I need to make a transparent polyurethane gel for optical applications. Is DMAAE acceptable?

    Yes, its low residual color and good compatibility make it suitable for clear gels at low concentrations (<0.3 phr).

    How can I increase the open time of a two-component polyurethane adhesive without sacrificing final strength?

    Replace part of the gel catalyst with DMAAE; it extends the cream time while still allowing full cure.

    Can DMAAE be used in polyurethane foam for flotation devices?

    Yes, its balanced reactivity helps produce uniform closed-cell foam with good buoyancy.
