In this work, a high-throughput screening (HTS) method was used to discover new efficient catalysts to substitute organotin compounds (DBTDL) for the cross-linking of silyl-modified polymers (SMPs). We report here on the use of our HTS method to investigate a library of alkoxide/oxime systems with different metal/ligand (M/L) ratios. Among the 156 candidates tested, 40 interesting hits were detected. Then, the cross-linking times for the better hits were measured on the SMP. Some of these seem to be more efficient than DBTDL and exhibit a good stability during storage in cartridges. Thereby, a high efficiency of alkoxide/oxime systems was established that shows great potential for the generation of new ligands to provide new tin-free catalysts for the cross-linking of adhesives and sealants.
