Advances in Catalysis for Organic Coatings

Abstract

The industrial coating market is undergoing substantial changes. These changes are driven predominately by environmental regulations. The reduction in organic solvent content and the elimination of certain heavy metals and toxic compounds in industrial coatings are major priorities. The development of powder, waterborne, high solids or solvent-free coatings also requires catalyst systems with different reaction profiles.

Tribological characterisation of plant oil derived fatty acid esters of higher polyols: Comparative experimental study

“…Only a small amount of Sn catalyst is required for effective catalytic activity, and it is the one of the most important advantages of organotin catalysts. Tin (II) bis (2‐ethylhexanoate) is considered as safer than other organotin catalysts and could be applied as catalyst in the synthesis of compounds used in food industry . The method of the synthesis have been slightly modified by the addition of cyclohexane in order to reduce the viscosity of crude ester.…”

This procedure is important for highviscosity polyol esters in purification step.…”

Synthesis of Fatty Acid Esters of Selected Higher Polyols Over Homogeneous Metallic Catalysts

“…As reported by Blank, Fascat 2003 is safer than other organotin catalysts. The toxicity concerns about organotin compounds does not apply to stannous carboxylates [ 23 ].…”
