Latent catalysts, epoxy compositions incorporating same, and coating, impregnating and bonding methods employing the compositions

摘要

Products resulting from contacting (1) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of (a) at least one onium compound of the element nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur or arsenic; (b) at least one amine compound; and (c) a mixture of any two or more of the (a) and (b) components; with (2) either (a) boric acid or (b) a mixture of boric acid and at least one acid having a weak nucleophilic anion are suitable catalysts for reacting vicinal epoxy-containing compounds with aromatic hydroxyl-containing compounds.
