Boron Fluoride Etherate is an unusually versatile liquid catalyst, offering multiple advantages and economies for a wide range of reactions, including polymeriza tion, alkylation, arylation, condensation, isomerization, esterification, cyclization. It combines the catalytic properties of BF3 with the ease of handling and exact dispensability of a liquid. In operation after operation it has proved superior to many other catalysts because: • Smaller quantities have greater catalytic activity. • Little or no extraneous material is intro duced into the system. • Reactions are moderated or more easily controlled.
Possible Uses of
• Operating temperature ranges are wider.
BORON FLUORIDE Etherate as Catalyst for:
• Yields are increased. • Separations are easier and no bulky sludges are formed. • Properties of end-products are improved. • More reactions are carried to completion.
1 Polymerization and co-polymerization of mixed unsaturates. 2 Selective esterification of mixtures of or ganic acids.
• Fewer undesirable waste materials result. Boron Fluoride Etherate is available in 5-, 20- and 55-gallon drums for commer cial applications as well as in one- and five-pound bottles for research purposes. For experimental samples and list of technical references on uses, etc., please make request on business letterhead.
3 Cyclization of synthetic and natural elas tomers after polymerization or in starting from monomers. 4 Condensation of modified phenolics. 5 Preparation of alkyl phenols. 6 Refining of aromatic and paraffinic sol vents by polymerization of the olefins they contain. 7 Increasing viscosity of semi-drying and drying oils. 8 Modification of mixtures of esters and acids by polymerizing conjugated com pounds selectively.
