Another important polymer catalyst development was triethylene diamine (TEDA), trademarked Dabco by the Houdry Process Corp. in 1959 as a one-step catalyst for poljuirethanes. In 1956, Houdry had made this unusual compound as a by-product of research directed toward synthesis of heterocyclic nitrogen compounds using silica-alumina cracking catalysts. The use of TEDA as a urethane catalyst was suggested by Professor Milton Orchin of the University of Cincinnati it was developed by Houdry researchers led by Adalbert Farkas. Dabco soon became the major urethane catalyst (85).
