Features Of Borchers Borchi Kat 0244 Bismuth Catalyst

  1. Non-toxic bismuth-based alternative to traditional heavy-metal catalysts (e.g., lead, tin, mercury).

  2. High catalytic activity in polyester and polyacrylate condensation reactions at moderate temperatures.

  3. Excellent thermal stability up to 220 °C, minimizing decomposition during high-temperature processing.

  4. Low volatility and negligible migration, supporting compliance with global food-contact and RoHS regulations.

  5. Easy dispersion in polar organic solvents and polymer melts without pre-treatment or surface modification.

Typical Applications Of Borchers Borchi Kat 0244 Bismuth Catalyst

  1. Polyester resin synthesis for coatings, adhesives, and industrial composites.

  2. Catalysis of transesterification in bio-based polyol production (e.g., from vegetable oils).

  3. Condensation curing of alkyd resins used in architectural and automotive refinish paints.

  4. Accelerated esterification in high-solids and solvent-free coating formulations.

  5. Co-catalyst in hybrid systems with titanium or zirconium compounds for enhanced selectivity and reduced side reactions.
