Abstract
The present invention is directed to novel metal organocomplexes as catalysts for the reaction of compounds with isocyanate and hydroxy functional groups to form urethane and/or polyurethane and the process employing such catalysts. More particularly, the present invention is directed to novel complexes of zirconium or hafnium with diketones or alkylacetoacetoates. These novel catalysts are useful for the production of urethanes and polyurethanes which are important in many industrial applications, such as: coatings, foams, adhesives, sealants, and reaction injection molding (RIM) plastics.
