    Description

    MOFAN A1 is a tertiary amine which has a strong influence on the urea (water-isocyanate) reaction in flexible and rigid polyurethane foams. It consists of 70% bis(2-Dimethylaminoethyl) ether diluted with 30% dipropylene glycol.

    Application

    MOFAN A1 catalyst can be used in all types of foam formulations. The strong catalytic effect on the blowing reaction can be balanced by the addition of a strong gelling catalyst. If amine emissions are a concern, low emission alternatives are available for many end use applications.

    FAQ

    I want an easy-to-handle blowing catalyst for continuous slabstock. Why use MOFAN A1 instead of pure BDMAEE?

    A1 is diluted in DPG, making it less volatile, safer to handle, and easier to meter with low-cost pumps.

    My flexible foam has a tendency to scorch in hot summer. Can A1 help?

    Yes, because it is diluted, you achieve the same blowing effect with less local exotherm, reducing scorch risk.

    What is the typical dilution ratio to replace pure BDMAEE?

    1.43 kg of A1 (70%) gives the same active BDMAEE as 1 kg of pure product.

    Can A1 be used in molded foam for mattresses to improve breathability?

    Yes, its strong blow action opens cells, increasing airflow by 30–40%.

    My water-blown rigid foam has poor dimensional stability. Will A1 fix it?

    No, rigid foam requires a strong gel or trimer catalyst. A1 will make it worse.

    How do I store A1 in winter?

    A1 can freeze below -10°C; keep in a heated warehouse or warm the drum to 20°C before use.

    Is A1 compatible with amine neutralizers in polyurethane coatings?

    Yes, but test for compatibility as DPG may affect film hardness.

    My slabstock foam has a density gradient (top lighter, bottom heavier). How to correct?

    Increase A1 by 0.02–0.04 phr to promote faster rise and more uniform density.

    Can A1 be used in high-resilience foam formulations?

    Yes, but at a lower dosage (0.05–0.1 phr) to avoid over-blowing and cell collapse.

    What is the best co-catalyst for A1 in a cost-sensitive formulation?

    MOFAN 33LV (TEDA solution) provides the best cost/performance balance.
