Description and features

Catonium TPPBr (Tetraphenylphosphonium Bromide) is a white to off-white, its chemical formula is C24H20BrP. TPPBr is a quaternary phosphonium salt mainly used in  pharmaceuticals, as accelarator for fluoroelastomers , adhesion promotor for fluoroelastomers and curative of polyacrylate polymers which extends the shelf life of the compound and decreases the mould fouling.  This material is highly soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohols.

Tetraphenylphosphonium Bromide is also known as TPP, TPP-Br, TPPB and TPPBr.

Compared to amines, imidazoles and quaternary ammonium salts CatOnium TPPBr features considerable better latency and thermal stability.

Further it offers a low odor, minimal color formation and controlled reactivity.
