Product Features
- FASCAT 4100 catalyst is a solid, hydrolytically stable
catalyst that is active at low loadings.
- FASCAT 4100 catalyst is used primarily to catalyze esterification
and polycondensation reactions at temperature between 210
and 240℃.
- FASCAT 4100 catalyst begins to solubilize in carboxylic
acid at 80℃ during the reaction and becomes incorporated
into the final product without affecting the quality of
the product.
- FASCAT 4100 catalyst can be used at temperatures up to
250℃
- FASCAT 4100 catalyst is neutral and non-corrosive.
 |
Benefits |
 |
|
- FASCAT 4100 catalyst can sighificantly shorten esterification
times when compared to uncatalyzed systems.
- FASCAT 4100 catalyst minimizes side reactions such as
dehydration and oxidative degradation of polyhydric alcohols,
especially secondary alcohols.
- FASCAT 4100 catalyst can be charged up front with other
reactants, and requires no special handling other than avoiding
excessive exposure to moisture.
- FASCAT 4100 catalyst does not require neutralization or
filtration at the end of production.
