Technical Bulletin

As regulation drives a shift toward formulations with low VOC content and alternative metals, the development of catalysts that are hydrolytically stable is of great interest in the coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers (CASE) industries as waterborne formulations grow in popularity. Bismuth-based catalysts are lower toxicity alternatives that provide comparable reactivity but require a significant amount of excess carboxylic acid to provide product stability and workable viscosities.

Reaxis Inc. combines technical capabilities and expertise with imagination and versatility to produce common and fully customized specialty chemical solutions for a vast number of applications.
