Abstract

Organotin compounds particularly dibutyltin dilaurate, are commonly used as catalysts in coatings or adhesive materials to crosslink silyl modified polymers. However, environmental concerns should lead before 2020 to ban organotin compounds due to their high toxicity. Thus new catalysts must be developed. According to the different types of catalytic systems, i.e. acid, basic or metal containing catalysts, a large variety of candidates should be tested. Thus a high-throughput screening (HTS) method could be an interesting tool for the detection of new efficient catalysts to substitute organotin compounds. We report a global HTS method, compatible with organic amino or acid catalysts libraries, as well as with metal-containing libraries.
