Cost-Effective Use of Tetramethylimidazolidinediylpropylamine (TMBPA) in Mass-Produced Insulation Materials

Cost-Effective Use of Tetramethylimidazolidinediylpropylamine (TMBPA) in Mass-Produced Insulation Materials Abstract: Tetramethylimidazolidinediylpropylamine (TMBPA) is a tertiary amine catalyst commonly employed in the production of polyurethane (PU) foams, a widely used class of insulation materials. This article explores the cost-effective utilization of TMBPA in mass-produced insulation materials, focusing on its role in catalyzing the blowing and gelling reactions, its impact on foam properties, strategies for minimizing its usage…
