Chemical Properties of MXC-37

Molecular Architecture & Low-Emission Design

Chemical structure of MXC-37 (DMAEE, CAS 1704-62-7), a low-VOC reactive blowing catalyst for polyurethane foams
Molecular structure of Ming Xu Chem’s MXC-37 (CAS 1704-62-7), a reactive amine catalyst for low-emission PU systems.

The unique molecular structure of MXC-37 specifically addresses the odor and emission challenges associated with conventional amine catalysts:

  • Polymer-Bound Reactive Hydroxyl: Featuring a free hydroxyl (-OH) group, this catalyst chemically reacts with isocyanates and bonds permanently into the polyurethane polymer matrix. This prevents any future migration or outgassing from the final product.

  • Minimized Amine Odor & VOCs: By locking the catalyst strictly inside the foam network, it drastically reduces the typical pungent amine odor. This makes it an indispensable solution for complying with modern indoor air quality and strict low-emission manufacturing standards.

 

Powerful Blowing Catalysis & Formulation Efficiency

MXC-37 is a specialized liquid amine catalyst formulated for enhanced reactivity control and processing stability in PU systems.

For formulation engineers, MXC-37 offers highly efficient and controlled expansion, specifically optimized for water-blown systems:

  • Targeted Blowing Reaction: It acts predominantly as a blowing catalyst, effectively accelerating the water-isocyanate reaction to generate gas and promote rapid, uniform foam expansion.

  • Optimized for High Water Content: It is exceptionally well-suited for formulations with high water levels, allowing factories to efficiently produce very low-density foams while significantly reducing overall material costs.

  • Versatile PU Applications: While perfect for low-density packaging foams and rigid systems, its versatile profile also benefits molded foams, polyether slabstock, and microcellular elastomers requiring a clean rise profile.

 

Process Efficiency & Operational Safety

We prioritize technical parameters that ensure seamless integration into automated production lines and maintain rigorous factory safety:

  • Complete Liquid Miscibility: As a clear, low-viscosity liquid, it blends effortlessly into polyol premixes without phase separation, ensuring highly accurate and consistent machine dosing.

  • Guaranteed High Purity: A minimum purity of 98.5% and strictly controlled water content (max. 0.5%) guarantees stable, predictable reaction kinetics, eliminating costly batch-to-batch variations.

  • Enhanced Factory Safety: By minimizing volatile amine fumes on the factory floor, it significantly improves the working environment and safety for your production personnel.
