The present invention relates to a method for preparing metal carboxylates. The method comprises providing a composition comprising a metal, an amine, and a carboxylate, optionally in a liquid medium; and decomposing the composition to form a metal carboxylate comprising the metal and at least one carboxylate. The present invention also relates to metal carboxylates prepared by that method. The metal carboxylates may be useful for example as drying agents for alkyd paints, catalysts for polyester resins, lubricants and as biocidal agents in the preservation of wood. |
