11.4 Novel Metal-Free Catalysts for Epoxy-Carboxy Coatings (Room 237-239)

10 Apr 18
4:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Tracks: Session 11: Epoxy Coatings, Session 11: Waterbased Coatings

A new class of metal free catalysts has been developed that promotes the crosslinking reaction of epoxy functional polymers with carboxyl functional compounds and polymers. These catalysts are particularly effective at much lower cure temperatures, provide stable single package formulations and improved resistance properties. In addition, unlike amine based compounds, these catalysts do not yellow during cure or on over bake.
