Used as a catalyst in polyurethane foam production, particularly in flexible slabstock foams, where it helps control the balance between gelling and blowing reactions. Also serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis and as a solvent in specialty chemical processes. Its tertiary amine structure makes it effective in promoting urethane and urea reactions. Employed in small amounts due to its volatility and moderate basicity, contributing to consistent foam rise and cell structure. Additionally, utilized in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals as a building block or reagent.
