China and the United States are the leading exporters of triethylenediamine (CAS 280-57-9), accounting for the largest shares of global supply, while Germany, South Korea, and India represent the top importing markets. Triethylenediamine prices have remained relatively stable amid steady cross-border flows, reflecting consistent demand from polyurethane catalyst applications. Export volumes from China have expanded modestly over the past two years, while U.S. exports have held steady, and European imports—particularly by Germany—have shown resilience despite broader chemical trade fluctuations.
Triethylenediamine (TEDA), CAS 280-57-9, is a white to off-white crystalline solid at room temperature with a characteristic amine-like odor; it has a melting point of approximately 156–158 °C and sublimes readily. It is classified as a heterocyclic organic compound and a tertiary diamine, specifically the common name for 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO). TEDA is widely employed as a catalyst—particularly in polyurethane foam production—where it promotes the reaction between isocyanates and water to generate carbon dioxide for foaming. It also serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals, including corrosion inhibitors and epoxy curing agents. Its applications are concentrated in polymer manufacturing, coatings, and fine chemical synthesis.
