Lupragen® N 107 (DMEE, dimethylaminoethoxyethanol) is a liquid tertiary amine that contains a free hydroxyl group. It is widely used as a catalyst for polyurethane applications. Similar to its counterpart, Lupragen® N 205 (BDMAEE), this product primarily catalyzes the blowing reaction in polyurethane systems. Due to the chemical bonding of its free hydroxyl group with the polyurethane matrix, it remains in the foam and is considered a "reactive" and "low VOC" catalyst. The main applications of Lupragen® N 107 are in spray foam and packaging foams.
