¢ŗApplications
  DMEA is a widely used and well-known and proven cost cutting catalyst in the
urethane foam industry. It effects especially the acceleration of the blowing reaction and is therefore well suited for producing PUR-foams in a widely spread density range.
  For achieving the safest production conditions DMEA in some formulation is also being
applied in combination with triethylene diamine.
  The quantity to be applied depends on the quantity of the blowing agent in the formulations,
resp. on the density wanted. DMEA is generally used in the range of 0.15~0.3 parts per 100 parts of polyol. We do not advise the use of DMEA together with commercial grade methylenechloride. However, DMEA can be used with methylenechloride, polyurethane grade(stabilized).
