Types of bismuth-zinc catalysts

Thread Content

Environmental sustainability is the trend in the development of the polyurethane industry today. Since compounds such as lead, mercury, and tin can have adverse effects on human health and the environment, their use in this industry is strictly restricted. Environment-friendly catalysts for polyurethanes mainly include organic bismuth, organic zinc, and zinc-bismuth mixed catalysts, which can be widely used in the production of polyurethane coatings, resins, pastes, adhesives, sealants, elastomers, and other products in the PU industry. They represent an excellent alternative to toxic catalysts based on lead, mercury, and tin. Bismuth series: TMG 716/720/728 – Bismuth neodecanoate; Polyurethane coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers. TMG 722/724/730 – Bismuth octoate; Polyurethane coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers. TMG 752 – Bismuth citrate; Electrophoretic paint. TMG 758 – Bismuth subsalicylate; Electrophoretic paint. Medicine and tablets: TMG 789 – Bismuth trioxide; Electrophoretic paint.

Zinc series: TMG 612/618/620 – Zinc octoate; Solvent-based PU clear coatings, coil coatings, paint and ink dryers, activators for natural rubber, anti-aggregation agents for white carbon black. TMG 616M – Zinc neodecanoate; Lubricant additives, dryers, PU catalysts, odor scavengers. TMG 623 – Zinc acetylacetonate; PVC heat stabilizers, cross-linking catalysts for polyester resin. TMG 634 – Zinc oxalate; Metal treatment agents, ingredients in sunscreen, catalysts for organic synthesis, fluorescent agents. TMG 635 – Zinc acetate; Dye mordants, pharmaceutical intermediates.

Zinc-bismuth mixtures: TMG 330/330R – Zinc-bismuth mixture; Polyurethane coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers
