This project aims at the development of new catalysts for curing reactions of crosslinkable high-performance coatings, consisting of epoxy- and carboxylic acid functional materials
The goal is to significantly reduce the operating temperatures required to obtain a high degree of crosslinking within reasonable timeframes, while simultaneously maintaining high chemoselectivity. Consequentially, this leads to an increased application range and reduces overall energy consumption.
