DABCO® EG

DABCO® EG is a tertiary amine solution with 33% triethylenediamine and ethylene glycol. It acts as a strong urethane catalyst, mainly used for shoe soles. DABCO® EG is suitable for all polyurethane mixes with mono-ethylene glycol. Ideal for microcellular and integral skin uses. The liquid form makes dosing easy and ensures strong gel catalysis during manufacture.

  • DABCO® EG is a 33% triethylenediamine and ethylene glycol solution used as a urethane catalyst.
  • Recommended for microcellular and integral skin polyurethane uses, especially in shoe soles.
  • Fits all polyurethane mixes extended with mono-ethylene glycol.
  • Strong gel catalysis and liquid form offer process benefits and user convenience.
  • Key market: footwear applications.

DABCO® EG is a tertiary amine that is a solution of 33 % triethylenediamine (TEDA) and 67 % ethylene glycol. It is a strong urethane (polyol-isocyanate) catalyst that can be used in flexible foam applications and is commonly used for shoe soles.

Typical Applications

DABCO® EG is intended for use in any polyurethane formulation extended with dimonethylene glycol (MEG). It is widely used in microcellular applications as DABCO® CRYSTALLINEcatalyst, but in a convenient liquid form.
DABCO® EG is also recommended for integral skin applications.
