DABCO is primarily used in the chemical industry for the production of polyurethanes, which are materials found in a wide range of products including foams, elastomers, and coatings. Its role as a catalyst helps in facilitating the reaction between polyols and isocyanates, which are the building blocks of polyurethanes. Additionally, it finds use in the manufacture of epoxy resins and as a stabilizer in the production of certain plastics.
