Uses

A key use is as a catalyst for epoxy resin chemistry. It can be used as a homopolymerization catalyst for epoxy resins and also as an accelerator with epoxy resin curing agents. It is then further used in coatings, [5] sealants, composites, [6] adhesives [7] and elastomers. It has been stated that it is probably the most widely used room temperature accelerator for two-component epoxy resin systems. [8] [9] The kinetics of curing with and without this accelerator have been extensively studied. [10] [11] It is the usual benchmark or control used when other catalysts and accelerators are being developed and tested. [12]

In addition to its use in epoxy chemistry, it is also used in polyurethane chemistry for example by grafting the molecule into the polymer backbone. [13] It is also used as a trimerization catalyst with polymeric MDI. [14]

Polyether ether ketones may also be grafted with the molecule which then finds use in lithium batteries. [15]

The high functionality of the molecule means it can be used to complex some transition metals and this has also been studied. [16]

Often cited weaknesses are yellowing and odor. [17]

Manufacture

The material is a Mannich base and is manufactured by reacting phenol, formaldehyde and dimethylamine in a reactor under vacuum and removing the water produced.

Toxicity

It is classed as a high volume chemical and as such, its toxicity profile has been extensively studied. [18] [19] [20]
