Abstract

Abstract Latent catalysts for epoxy reactions are prepared by reacting a tetrasubstituted onium compound such as tetrabutylphosphonium acetate.acetic acid complex or an amine compound with an acid having a weak-nucleophilic anion such as fluoboric acid. These catalysts provide stable latent catalysts for epoxy resins for advancement or curing reactions.
